F#
Invite them the fly as you cut their wings
F# G#m
tell them the run as you tie their feet
F#
where they'll go?
F#
ask them to sing when they can't yet speak
G#m
show them how to sow where they'll never reach
F#
where they'll go?
D#m C# Bmaj7 C# D#m
We, we hold a gun
Mhmm
F#
Here comes the tune once again
F# G#m F#
another great chief with another strong hand, fences and walls
F#
how can you sit when you cannot stand
F# G#m F#
and will be needing more from the less in your hands, fences and walls
D#m C# Bmaj7 C# D#m
We, we hold a gun
We, we hold it up
D#m C#
Fill up their rooms where there are no seats
Bmaj7
expect them to reach them and teach them to dream
C# D#m
ask 'em to see as you shut out the light
D#m
expect a world in colour where it's all black and white
C#
And is it protection when it never bends
Bmaj7
And all the glory that reach and suspends
C# D#m
ask them to come and the dance and the scene
D#m
and always in rooms where the silence stings
C#
and are we raising them up just to hold up their hands
Bmaj7
and enter into a world that they won't
C# D#m
they won't understand
D#m C# Bmaj7 C# D#m
We, we hold a gun
