Intro : (x4) Walk along and talk along And live your lives quite freely. But leave our children with their toys Of peppermint and candy. [Refrain :] 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. [Refrain] 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. [Refrain] As you fill your glasses With the wine of murdered Negroes. Thinking not of beauty that Spreads like morning sun-glow. [Refrain] I pray your dreams of vivid screams Of children dying slowly. And as you polish up your guns Your real self be re-flecting. [Refrain] 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. [Refrain]
