Babies In Cages by Drive-By Truckers Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The world wakes up this morning, I'm sorry for the news
Wrapped up in a tinfoil blanket without any shoes
Babies in cages

[Verse 2]
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

[Verse 3]
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

[Verse 4]
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

[Verse 5]
I bang my head against it, smash guitars, and scream and shout
Standing on the beach watching the tide go out
Babies in cages
[Verse 6]
Standing in the darkness to answer for our sins
Children changing each others diapers in a pen
Babies in cages

[Verse 7]
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
