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
