hush little angel won’t you try   the devil hears you when you cry      so you cant and you won’t   give up the ghost now   leave it alone   you know you don’t need those lessons   someone else learned    its your life its your right to burn   so you count and discount   all the cracks in the pavement   as you move about   you say that you’ll take the push   for the sake of the pull   when you’re deaf dumb and blind   your eyes don’t feel the wool      and every time its    hush little angel won’t you try   the devil hears you when you cry   think pleasant dreams and truer lies      oh its not like those talks   of glass and devotion   they like to sell   oh you just want to be wanted   its making you sick   but its alright   you yeah its only a prick   and that’s how you know that its bad   that’s the problem with    its just something to have   babe you re running the clock   cos you can’t make it stop   so just sit still   and hope the hammer won’t drop      and every time its      hush little angels won’t you try   the devil hears you when you cry   think pleasant dreams and bluer skies   angel don’t you cry
