If we are all but pawns,
And life’s like a chess game.
Then our knights are corrupt,
And our bishop’s to blame.
I tried to seek cover
In the rook from the heat.
But they ain’t letting me in,
Their admission’s too steep.
The playing field’s a lie,
And it really ain’t fair.
They try to make me see black and white,
But only gray is in the air.
So slowly you slide,
To your place, so to speak.
But see through their eyes,
And it’s mission complete.
And all along,
From this game, what you got?
I just followed along,
And one day it all stopped.
So what’s the message,
Plain and straight?
It’s time for a change,
A revolution, checkmate!
