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