| Walk along and talk along and live your lives quite freely |
| But leave our children with their toys of peppermint and candy |
| For seagull I don’t want your wings |
| I don’t want your freedom in a lie |
| Your thoughts they are of harlequin, your speeches of quicksilver |
| I read your faces like a poem, kaleidoscope of hate words |
| For seagull I don’t want your wings |
| I don’t want your freedom in a lie |
| On the quilted battlefields of soldiers dazzling made of toy tin |
| The big bomb like a child’s hand could sweep them dead just so to win |
| For seagull I don’t want your wings |
| I don’t want your freedom in a lie |
| As you fill your glasses with the wine of murdered negroes |
| Thinking not of beauty that spreads like morning sun-glow |
| Seagull I don’t want your wings |
| I don’t want your freedom in a lie |
| I pray your dreams of vivid screams of children dying slowly |
| And as you polish up your guns your real self be reflecting |
| For seagull I don’t want your wings |
| I don’t want your freedom in a lie |
| Vietnam, your latest game, you’re playing with your blackest Queen |
| Damn your souls and curse your grins, I stand here with a fading dream |
| For seagull I don’t want your wings |
| I don’t want your freedom in a lie |
