| | CROW ON THE CRADLE Lyrics Artist(Band):Jackson Browne
The cow's in the corn Now is the time for a child to be born He'll laugh at the moon And cry for the sun And if it's a boy he'll carry a gun Sang the crow on the cradle And if it should be that this baby's a girl Never you mind if her hair doesn't curl With rings on her fingers And bells on her toes And a bomber above her wherever she goes Sang the crow on the cradle The crow on the cradle The black and the white Somebody's baby is born for a fight The crow on the cradle The white and the black Somebody's baby is not coming back Sang the crow on the cradle Your mother and father will sweat and they'll save To build you a coffin and dig you a grave Hush-a-bye little one, never you weep For we've got a toy that can put you to sleep Sang the crow on the cradle Bring me my gun, and I'll shoot that bird dead That's what your mother and father once said The crow on the cradle, what can we do Ah, this is a thing that I'll leave up to you Sang the crow on the cradle Sang the crow on the cradle If you find some error in CROW ON THE CRADLE Lyrics, would you please submit your corrections to me? Thank You. Review about CROW ON THE CRADLE one of the great | Reviewer: david eberhardt | 9/28/2007 anti violence death lyrics- if the crow symbolizes capitalism/america/george bust/richard nixon/ etc. etc.- even if the conclusion is ambivalent- the crow does symbolize these things/ now doesn't it??? therefore KILL THE CROW we need to go left-green-pacifist-socialist revolution? don't let people tell u it doesn't work... the fact that we would kill the crow w a gun- an instrument of violence- this brings some more ambiguity BUT over all- a good, if confused lyric (did the author favor gun control? i mean- too often lyrics are not transparent enuff) but i like this and i- yes, i too am a poet john lennon was more to the point- as well bob marley. bert brecht, wilfred owen dave in baltimore resist war- parctice non violoence do not sell this on ebay- mozela9@bcpl.net Review the song CROW ON THE CRADLE The area is only for review, if you want to submit the lyrics or the corrections of the lyrics, please click the link at the end of the lyrics.
