[B]
Walk along, talk along, and live your lives quite freely
But leave our children with their toys of peppermint and candy
For seagull, [E] I don't want [B] your wings, I don't want [F#] 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
For seagull, [E] I don't [B] want your 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 not of beauty that spreads like morning sun glow
For seagull, [E] I don't want [B] your wings, I don't want [F#] your freedom [B] in a lie
On the quilted battlefield of soldiers dazzling made of toy tin
[F#] The [B] big bomb like a child's hand could sweep them dead just so to win
Seagull, [E] I don't [B] want your wings, I don't want [F#] your freedom [B] in a lie
Vietnam, your latest game, you're playing with your blackest queen
[F#] [B] Damn your souls, I curse your grins, I stand here with a fading dream
Seagull, [E] I don't want your wings, [B] I don't [F#] want your freedom [B] in a lie
Walk along, talk along, and live your lives quite freely
But leave our children with their toys of peppermint and candy
For seagull, [E] I don't want [B] your wings, I don't want [F#] 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
For seagull, [E] I don't [B] want your 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 not of beauty that spreads like morning sun glow
For seagull, [E] I don't want [B] your wings, I don't want [F#] your freedom [B] in a lie
On the quilted battlefield of soldiers dazzling made of toy tin
[F#] The [B] big bomb like a child's hand could sweep them dead just so to win
Seagull, [E] I don't [B] want your wings, I don't want [F#] your freedom [B] in a lie
Vietnam, your latest game, you're playing with your blackest queen
[F#] [B] Damn your souls, I curse your grins, I stand here with a fading dream
Seagull, [E] I don't want your wings, [B] I don't [F#] want your freedom [B] in a lie
