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