Donovan - Ballad Of A Crystal Man Lyrics
Walk along and talk along and live your lives quite freelyBut 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 tinThe 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 negroesThinking 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 slowlyAnd 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 QueenDamn 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
