Verse 1:
G C
Walk along and talk along,
G D G C, G D
And live your lives quite freely.
G C
But leave our children with their toys,
G D G C, G D
Of peppermint and candy.
G C
For seagull, I don't want your wings,
G D G
I don't want your freedom, in a lie.
Verse 2:
G C
Your thoughts they are of harlequin,
G D G C, G D
Your speeches of quick-silver.

I read your faces like a poem,
G D G C, G D
Ka-leidoscope of hate words.
G C
For seagull, I don't want your wings,
G D G
I don't want your freedom, in a lie.
Verse 3:
G C
On the quilted battle-fields of soldiers,
G D G C, G D
Dazzling made of toy tin.
G C
The big bomb, like a child's hand,
G D G C, G D
Could sweep them dead just so to win.
G C
For seagull, I don't want your wings,
G D G
I don't want your freedom, in a lie.
Verse 4:
G C
As you fill your glasses,
G D G C, G D
With the wine of murdered Negroes.
G C
Thinking not of beauty that,
G D G C, G D
Spreads like morning sun-glow.
G C
Seagull, I don't want your wings,
G D G
I don't want your freedom, in a lie.
Verse 5:
G C
I pray your dreams of vivid screams,
G D G C, G D
Of children dying slowly.
G C
And as you polish up your guns,
G D G C, G D
Your real self be re-flecting.

For seagull, I don't want your wings,
G D G
I don't want your freedom, in a lie.

Vietnam; your latest game,

Damn your souls and curse your grins,

I stand here with a fading dream.

I don't want your freedom, in a lie.
