C#
Invite them the fly as you cut their wings
C# D#m
tell them the run as you tie their feet
C#
where they'll go?
C#
ask them to sing when they can't yet speak
D#m
show them how to sow where they'll never reach
C#
where they'll go?
A#m G# F#maj7 G# A#m
We, we hold a gun
Mhmm
C#
Here comes the tune once again
C# D#m C#
another great chief with another strong hand, fences and walls
C#
how can you sit when you cannot stand
C# D#m C#
and will be needing more from the less in your hands, fences and walls
A#m G# F#maj7 G# A#m
We, we hold a gun
We, we hold it up
A#m G#
Fill up their rooms where there are no seats
F#maj7
expect them to reach them and teach them to dream
G# A#m
ask 'em to see as you shut out the light
A#m
expect a world in colour where it's all black and white
G#
And is it protection when it never bends
F#maj7
And all the glory that reach and suspends
G# A#m
ask them to come and the dance and the scene
A#m
and always in rooms where the silence stings
G#
and are we raising them up just to hold up their hands
F#maj7
and enter into a world that they won't
G# A#m
they won't understand
A#m G# F#maj7 G# A#m
We, we hold a gun
