Shame on the hand,
that rocks the boat.
Even though you might understand
that it will get someone's goat.
Still as your hand begins,
that boat to rock.
You think, what do I lose, what do I win,
as you begin to look for the dock.
Chorus
Yeah, people slaps,
at the hand that rocks the boat.
Because they know their control, will collapse,
for the writing on the wall has been wrote.
V-2
But people still try,
guilty to make you feel.
As the tears they cry,
you finally realize aren't real.
For they know,
when you discover,
That you can go,
as soon as that rocking boat turns over.
Chorus
Yeah, people slaps,
at the hand that rocks the boat.
Because they know their control, will collapse,
for the writing on the wall has been wrote.
Bridge
Yes, rocking that boat must be,
Until from this prison you are free.

Forever it seems
your hands have been tied, And they have taken away all your dreams,
so, now is the time you are washed away with the tide.
It is so hard,
for all the world to see your pride,
And love taken from your heart
now has died.
Chorus
Yeah, people slaps,
at the hand that rocks the boat.
Because they know their control, will collapse,
for the writing on the wall has been wrote.
Because they know their control, will collapse,
for the writing on the wall has been wrote.
