A
Invite them the fly as you cut their wings
A Bm
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
Bm
show them how to sow where they'll never reach
A
where they'll go?
F#m E Dmaj7 E F#m
We, we hold a gun
Mhmm
A
Here comes the tune once again
A Bm A
another great chief with another strong hand, fences and walls
A
how can you sit when you cannot stand
A Bm A
and will be needing more from the less in your hands, fences and walls
F#m E Dmaj7 E F#m
We, we hold a gun
We, we hold it up
F#m E
Fill up their rooms where there are no seats
Dmaj7
expect them to reach them and teach them to dream
E F#m
ask 'em to see as you shut out the light
F#m
expect a world in colour where it's all black and white
E
And is it protection when it never bends
Dmaj7
And all the glory that reach and suspends
E F#m
ask them to come and the dance and the scene
F#m
and always in rooms where the silence stings
E
and are we raising them up just to hold up their hands
Dmaj7
and enter into a world that they won't
E F#m
they won't understand
F#m E Dmaj7 E F#m
We, we hold a gun
