Wakes up this mornin' I'm sorry for the news Wrapped up in a tinfoil blanket without any shoes Babies in cages I'm sorry to my children I'm sorry what they see I'm sorry for the world that they'll inherit from me Babies in cages And are we so divided That we can't at least agree This ain't the country that our granddads fought for us to be? Babies in cages ♪ Surf's up in the cities Where the next wars will be fought I'm sorry we've forgotten every word that we've been taught Babies in cages I bang my head against it Smash guitars and scream and shout Standing on the beach watching the tide go out Babies in cages And standing in the darkness To answers for our sins Children changing each others diapers in a pen Babies in cages ♪ They'll look up from the heavens As for calculate the cost Our souls crying for the better angels we have lost ♪ Look out from the heavens As for calculate the cost Our souls crying for the better angels we have lost
