[B] [F#]
[B]
Walk along and talk along and live your lives quite freely
But leave our children with their toys of peppermint [F#] and [B] candy
Oh seagull, I [E] don't want your [B] wings, I don't [F#] want your freedom [B] in a lie
Your thoughts, they are of harlequin, your speech is of quicksilver
I read your faces like a poem, kaleidoscope of hate words
Oh seagull, I [E] don't want your wings, [B] I don't [F#] want your freedom [B] in a lie
On the quilted battlefield of soldiers dazzling made of toy tin
The big bomb like a child's hand could sweep them dead just so to win
Oh seagull, I [E] don't want your [B] wings, I don't [F#] want your freedom [B] in a lie
As you fill your glasses with the wine of murdered negro
Think you're not of beauty that spreads like morning sun glow
Seagull, [E] I don't want your [B] wings, I don't [F#] want your freedom [B] in a lie
I pray your dreams are vivid screams of children dying slowly
And as you polish up your guns your real self be reflected
Oh seagull, I [E] don't want your [B] wings, I don't [F#] want your freedom [B] in a lie
Vietnam, your latest game, you're playing with [F#] your blackest [B] queen
Damn your souls, you curse your grins, I stand here with a fading dream
[F#] Oh [B]
seagull, I [E] don't want your wings, [B] I [F#] don't want your freedom in [B] a lie
