text: I found a black beret on the street today
  It was lying in the gutter all torn
  Theres 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
  Theres 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 fathers flags
  And let them cry to heaven
  No birthday songs to sing again
  Just bricks and stones to give them
  Wrap them up in your fathers 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
  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
  No birthday songs to sing again
  Just bricks and stones to give them
  Wrap them up in your fathers flags
  And let them cry to heaven
  No birthday songs to sing again
  Just bricks and stones to give them
  Wrap them up in your fathers flags
  And let them cry to heaven
  Let them cry to Heaven
  Let them cry to Heaven
  Let them cry to Heaven
