Cry To Heaven

Use A− / A+ to adjust text size
I found a black beret on the street todayIt was lying in the gutter all tornThere's a white flag flying on a tall buildingBut the kids just watch the stormTheir dirty faces pressed on the windowsShattered glass before their eyesThere's a mad dog barking in a burned out subwayWhere the sniper sleeps at nightNo birthday songs to sing againJust bricks and stones to give themWrap them up in your father's flagsAnd let them cry to heavenThere are many graves by a cold lakeAs the beds were when your babies are bornAnd your rag doll sits with a permanent grinBut the kids just watch the stormI saw a black cat tease a white mouseUntil he killed it with his clawsSeems a lot of countries do the same thingBefore they go to war
