We Hold A Gun

C
Invite them the fly as you cut their wings
C                                  Dm
tell them the run as you tie their feet
                C
where they'll go?
C
ask them to sing when they can't yet speak
                                     Dm
show them how to sow where they'll never reach
              C
where they'll go?

Am G          Fmaj7 G Am
We, we hold a gun
Mhmm

C
Here comes the tune once again
C                                      Dm                 C
another great chief with another strong hand, fences and walls
C
how can you sit when you cannot stand
C                                          Dm                    C
and will be needing more from the less in your hands, fences and walls

Am G          Fmaj7 G Am
We, we hold a gun
We, we hold it up

Am                                   G
Fill up their rooms where there are no seats
                                            Fmaj7
expect them to reach them and teach them to dream
           G                       Am
ask 'em to see as you shut out the light
                                                   Am
expect a world in colour where it's all black and white
                                   G
And is it protection when it never bends
                                  Fmaj7
And all the glory that reach and suspends
            G                          Am
ask them to come and the dance and the scene
                                         Am
and always in rooms where the silence stings
                                                 G
and are we raising them up just to hold up their hands
                             Fmaj7
and enter into a world that they won't
G               Am
they won't understand

Am G          Fmaj7 G Am
We, we hold a gun
