[Bb]
Walk along [C] and talk along [Bb] and live your lives quite freely
[F]
[Bb] But leave our children with their toys of peppermint and candy
For see girl I [Eb] don't want your wings [Bb] I don't want [F] your freedom [Bb] in a lie
As you fill your glasses with wine of murdered [F] negroes
[Bb] Think you love the beauty that spreads like morning sun glow
See girl I [Eb] don't want your [Bb] wings I don't want [F] your freedom in [Bb] a lie
On the quilted battlefield of soldiers dazzling made of toy fins
The big bomb like a child's hand could sweep them dead [F] just so to [Bb] win
See girl I [Eb] don't want your wings [Bb] I don't [F] want your freedom in [Bb] a lie
I pray your dreams of the dead screams of children dying slowly
[F]
[Bb] And as you polish up your guns you will yourself be reflected
See girl I [Eb] don't want your wings [Bb] I don't [F] want your freedom in [Bb] a lie
Vietnam your latest game you're playing with your blackness queen
Damn your souls you curse your grins you stand here with a fading dream
See girl I [Eb] don't want your wings [Bb] I don't want your [F] freedom in [Bb] a lie
