Standard (EADGBE)

Invite them the fly as you cut their wings

tell them the run as you tie their feet

 where they'll go?

ask them to sing when they can't yet speak

 show them how to sow where they'll never reach

 where they'll go?

We, we hold a gun

Mhmm

Here comes the tune once again

another great chief with another strong hand, fences and walls

how can you sit when you cannot stand

and will be needing more from the less in your hands, fences and walls

We, we hold a gun

We, we hold it up

Fill up their rooms where there are no seats

 expect them to reach them and teach them to dream

 ask 'em to see as you shut out the light

 expect a world in colour where it's all black and white

 And is it protection when it never bends

 And all the glory that reach and suspends

 ask them to come and the dance and the scene

 and always in rooms where the silence stings

 and are we raising them up just to hold up their hands

 and enter into a world that they won't

they won't understand

We, we hold a gun
