Pawn Song

Just take it nice and easy
Don't go looking for a fight
There's talk of revolution
And they're out in force tonight

And down on the street
Where the whole city's
Turning out, singin "we'll overcome"
They're met by the ranks
Of soldiers in tanks
Who'll send them back to Kingdom Come

Cause a pawn don't know he's a pawn
Or he'd draw a line in the sand
But when he's got his finger on that trigger
A man don't know he's a man...
He don't know he's a man...

So we celebrate in silence
Every moment our hearts still beat
And we wear the weight of violence
That's generations deep

And sleep, it comes slowly
When the whole city's glowing
Like a fire on the sun
And though the whole world is sinking
There's some fools still thinking
There's peace at the end of a gun

A pawn don't know he's a pawn
Or he'd draw a line in the sand
But when he's got his finger on that trigger
A man don't know he's a man...
He don't know he's a man...

A pawn don't know he's a pawn
Or he'd draw a line in the sand
But when he's got his finger on that trigger
A man don't know he's a man...
He don't know he's a man...
