            Song Lyrics 
            
 
 
 
 
 I found a black beret on the street today 
It was lying in the gutter all torn 
There's a white flag flying on a tall building 
But the kids just watch the storm 
Their dirty faces pressed on the windows 
Shattered glass before their eyes 
There's a mad dog barking in a burned out subway 
Where the sniper sleeps at night 
No birthday songs to sing again 
Just bricks and stones to give them 
Wrap them up in your father's flags 
And let them cry to heaven 
There are many graves by a cold lake 
As the beds were when your babies are born 
And your rag doll sits with a permanent grin 
But the kids just watch the storm 
I saw a black cat tease a white mouse 
Until he killed it with his claws 
Seems a lot of countries do the same thing 
Before they go to war
