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
