lyrics

Violence and money, sex and politics
Everyone is getting right in the mix

People move around,
mindless machine is breathing,
nothing left within



Maybe you'll be a queen some day,
maybe you'll find a way to lessen the pain
But don't forget your master,
the one that holds your chain


Pawn in a game of chess,
In a game of chess
A suicidal king in huge distress
Pawn in a game of chess


Ask yourself, did you get any of this
When you're trying to shout out your amends
This world has somehow to be left alone
just to set us free


Don't forget you'll be a queen some day,
maybe you'll find a way to lessen the pain
But don't forget your master,
the one that holds your chain


Pawn in a game of chess,
In a game of chess
A suicidal king in huge distress
Pawn in a game of chess


A suicidal king in huge distress
A suicidal king in huge distress


Pawn in a game of chess,
In a game of chess
A suicidal king in huge distress
Pawn in a game of chess
