Pawns in the Game

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
