歌词

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