Rock a bye baby You're the sweetest child And when the wind blows I will hold you tight How can I talk to you about the shape of love [Chorus] You better watch out There's bombers in the sky Bombers in the sky You better run for your life Kiss your wife goodbye Cause you know it's time to die There are bombers in the sky Ring a ring a roses Floating on the sea Sing your song for sixpence But don't ask me to believe No don't talk to me about the shape of love [Chorus] You better watch out Cause there's bombers in the sky Bombers in the sky You better run for your life Kiss your child goodbye You know it's time to die There are bombers in the sky Dirty politicians with Coca-Cola smiles Tiny little babies Are weaned on their lies So don't talk to me about the shape of love [Chorus] You better watch out There are bombers in the sky Bombers in the sky You better run for your life Kiss your babe goodbye Cause now you know it's time to die Bombers in the sky [Chorus]
