LyricsWell it all began like a new routine
We were drunk, we were tired, we were sick
We were in between
And the jig was up when the sun went down
It was dark, it was mean, it was black
There was not a sound
And when the morning papers did not come
We shook our heads
We knew that we were done
And so we sat and prayed for
Just another try
Throw your babies in the water
Dah dah dah
Let you hair down like you used to
And tell all your sons and daughters
Dah dah dah
They don’t have to grow up like you
They’re not supposed to
Now the birds don’t sing and the cars won’t go
There’s a lump in your throat
There’s no songs on the radio
And the walls caved in and the well went dry
And the mountains shook and the people
All wondered why
And in the morning I wake up to find
There’s something here
There’s someone in my mind
And so I hung my head and
I began to cry
Throw your babies in the water
Dah dah dah
Let you hair down like you used to
And tell all your sons and daughters
Dah dah dah
They don’t have to grow up like you
They’re not supposed to
Cradled whipped
And mother’s tongue
It’s not hard to see
What went wrong
If I told you once I done told you twice
You can beg you can kneel you can pray
You’ll be sacrificed
And when the morning papers did not come
We shook our heads
We knew that we were done
And so we sat and prayed for
Just another try
Throw your babies in the water
Dah dah dah
Let you hair down like you used to
And tell all your sons and daughters
Dah dah dah
They don’t have to grow up like you
They’re not supposed to
Throw your babies in the water
Dah dah dah
Let you hair down like you used to
And tell all your sons and daughters
Dah dah dah
They don’t have to grow up like you
They’re not supposed to
