Ballad Of A Crystal Man (vers. 1) Songtext

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. As you fill your glasses with the wine of murdered Negroes Think you not of beauty that spreads like morning sun-glow. 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. 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. Seagull I don't want your wings, I don't want your freedom in a lie
