Pawn Song - Patrick Park

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…
