Hard to build, easy to break Cradle it in your arms Oh, for your children's sake Hard to build, easy to break One little slip, oh-oh, that's one big mistake All the future kings and all the future queens Standing, impatient, in a row All the future kings and all the future queens Looking like the hero of their show Hard to build, easy to break Cradle it in your arms Oh, for goodness' sake And love the things you do not know Eat the things you do Hard to build, easy to break Hold it, not so tight Oh, that's a big mistake Hard to build, easy to break Cradle it in your arms Oh, for their children's sake Love the things you do not know Eat the things you do Then lick the spoon that stirs your pot And eat the pudding too Tend the flame that lit your way Stop worshiping the ash Sweep up all those broken things And throw them all, in the trash Hard to build, easy to break Hold it nice and tight Softly now, oh, it's awake Hard to build, easy to break Take that poison from your head Now give it one good shake Hard to build, easy to break Hard to build, easy to break Hard to build, easy to break Hard to build, easy to break Hard to build Hard to build Hard to build Hard to build
