 To be children and chattel and mothers and wives,

 There's a place they can go if they're tired of chains,
     FF            C majorC
 And our roads may be golden, or broken, or lost,

  DmDm             E minorEm
 We won't take our place on the shelves.
   FF           C majorC
 It's better to fly and it's better to die
