(Original Key: )
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 quick-silver.
I read your faces like a poem,
Ka-leidoscope of hate words.
For seagull, I don't want your wings,
I don't want your freedom, in a lie.
On the quilted battle-fields 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 re-flecting.
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.
