Hush Little Baby
1. Hush little baby
Don't say a word
Tonight we'll have to see
What silence is worth
They don't want me free
No, they want me to burn / serve
For making mine
Too many things that I didn't earn.
Hush little baby
Or can't you see?
Nothing in America
Ever came free
So who's gonna miss
What I stuff in my coat?
Some company so full of shit / Them? So full of shit
You can smell them choke? / can't you smell them choke?
Chorus -
Black diamonds and peals
Ruby's, emeralds
Life by our design
Everything I find
I'll give you all world
But first I have to make it mine
2.
Hush little baby
Don't you stare
You're old enough to know by now
That life isn't fair
Mostly we all have to
Make our own luck
I added up all I had
And it wasn't enough
Hush little baby
Don't you cry
If papa don't come back tonight
Then you'll know why
My hands been talking for me
For all this time
Cause nothing ever mattered
But to see you smile
Bridge -
Would you wait?
If you had no cause for faith
But you want something so bad
Would you chase
What wasn't so far away?
Oh you want something so bad
