Invite them the fly as you cut their wings
E F#m
tell them the run as you tie their feet
E
where they'll go?
E
ask them to sing when they can't yet speak
F#m
show them how to sow where they'll never reach
E
where they'll go?
C#m B Amaj7 B C#m
We, we hold a gun
Mhmm
E
Here comes the tune once again
E F#m E
another great chief with another strong hand, fences and walls
E
how can you sit when you cannot stand
E F#m E
and will be needing more from the less in your hands, fences and walls
C#m B Amaj7 B C#m
We, we hold a gun
We, we hold it up
C#m B
Fill up their rooms where there are no seats
Amaj7
expect them to reach them and teach them to dream
B C#m
ask 'em to see as you shut out the light
C#m
expect a world in colour where it's all black and white
B
And is it protection when it never bends
Amaj7
And all the glory that reach and suspends
B C#m
ask them to come and the dance and the scene
C#m
and always in rooms where the silence stings
B
and are we raising them up just to hold up their hands
Amaj7
and enter into a world that they won't
B C#m
they won't understand
C#m B Amaj7 B C#m
We, we hold a gun
