The Ballad Of A Crystal Man

G C, G D (4x) 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. G C Your thoughts they are of harlequin, G D G C, G D Your speeches of quick-silver. G C 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. 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. 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. 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. G C For seagull, I don't want your wings, G D G I don't want your freedom, in a lie. G C, G D (4x) G C Vietnam; your latest game, G D G C, G D You're playing with your blackest Queen. G C Damn your souls and curse your grins, G D G C, G D I stand here with a fading dream. G C For seagull, I don't want your wings, G D G I don't want your freedom, in a lie.
