Fast Roberts & the Rocket Club - Pawns in the Game Lyrics

I heard this woman screaming once
On the wrong end of the street
I heard her whimper and moan
I heard her whisper and groan
I heard the sound of marching feet
I heard the bullets pass and the breaking glass and the pop of a loaded gun
I heard the sirens, I yelled "Hey Myron", but he was already gone

He's already gone
Already gone

I saw the smoke then I started choking
I saw them running and run they'd say
I was in shock, the stones and rocks
I can't believe that it ends this way
Cause I know people and you know people
They're different colors, religions and creeds
I never thought of us as different
But it's what they want us to believe

It's what they want us to believe

They pull the triggers we dig the graves
And pretend not to notice that we're all slaves
This ain't bout color, religion, creed
It's about the almighty dollar and green, green, green

Put on your mask, pass out leaflets, call me out of my name
And pretend that you don't notice we're all pawns in the game

Pawns in the game
Pawns in the game
Pawns in the game
