Pawn

I'm as mad as hell and I'm not going to take this anymore

Sympathy is not in my vocabulary

In a rising state of puppetry

Will you cover and arise

From what's in front of your face

You'll never lie

You'll never crash

You'll never try

Fear resistance would be suicide

Like a pawn you sit in line

Decline and walk away

I won't play with the rules and the terms of your game

Well I'm trying

Empathy is not in their vocabulary

When it comes to the likes of you and me

Watch your mind will rise

And the propaganda takes control

Existеnce and kindness minimal

Yеah we've all become collateral

In a war we cannot fight

Decline and walk away

I won't play with the rules and the terms of your game

Well I'm trying

I have loved this land and I've tried

To fall in line

But I'll never stand by your side

Yes it's time to wake

From the clutches and escape

From the blindness of our faith

And the leaders who make their claim

Well I'm trying

I don't have to tell you things are bad

The air is unfit to breathe

Banks are going bust

Shopkeepers keep a gun

Under the courtesy of violent crimes

As if that's the way it's supposed to be

Bullets are running wild in the streets

There's nobody anywhere who seems to know what to do

And there's no end to it

We know things are bad

Worse than bad, they're crazy

It's like everything everywhere is going crazy

So we don't go out anymore

I want you to get mad

You've got to get mad

You've got to say

I'm a human being

Goddammit, my life I value

Walk away

I won't play with the rules and the terms of your game

Well I'm trying

I won't play

I will decline

Decline and walk away

I won't play with the rules and the terms of your game

Well I'm trying

I have loved this land and I've tried

To fall in line

But I'll never stand by your side

Yes it's time to wake

From the clutches and escape

From the blindness of our faith

And the leaders who make their claim

Well I'm trying
