Rock A Bye Bye Lyrics
If you could only hear
The silent screams
When you wake them up
From their dreams
Nothing is heard
Not even a
Even a
Even a word
Rock a bye baby
On the tree top
When the bough breaks
The cradle will fall
Rock rock rock a bye baby
Rock rock rock bye bye
And if they had
Any choice at all
You still can't hear
Those voices that call
And when the bough breaks
The cradle will
Cradle will
Cradle will fall
The silent screams
When you wake them up
From their dreams
Nothing is heard
Not even a
Even a
Even a word
On the tree top
When the bough breaks
The cradle will fall
Rock rock rock bye bye
Any choice at all
You still can't hear
Those voices that call
And when the bough breaks
The cradle will
Cradle will
Cradle will fall

As an Extreme fan for over 30 years, I had never given much thought to this song before today but on a re-listen I agree. I think it’s an anti-abortion song. I’m actually really disappointed with the band because I completely disagree with these privileged males pushing their ideals onto their audience. I’m pro choice. I have only just learned of the lengths Garry has gone to push his beliefs, and the garbage letters he has written. Tell a raped woman or child that she has to carry the seed of her abuser, or a teenage girl who falls...

America has gone mad!
