Lyrics

Translation
Bilingual
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 battlefield 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
Think you not of beauty that spreads like morning sunglow
Seagull I don't want your wings
I don't want your freedom in a lie
I pray your dreams are vivid screams of children dying slowly
And as you polish up your guns your real self be reflected
For seagull I don't want your wings
I don't want your freedom in a lie
Vietnam your latest game you're playin' with your blackest queen
Damn your souls, I 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
