Drive-By Truckers - Babies In Cages lyrics
[Drive-By Truckers - Babies In Cages lyrics]
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
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 forsaken every word
That we were 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
Standing in the darkness to
Answer for our sins
Children changing each others diapers
In a pen babies in cages
Well look up from the heavens
Calculate the cost
Souls cry out for the better
Angels we have lost
Well look up from the heavens
Calculate the cost
Souls cry out for the better
Angels we have lost
