Ants and Pawns Lyrics by Dead American

The Shape of Punk is Dumb

2018

[Intro]
Oh, how
Things have changed

[Verse 1]
Yeah I know, I've been told
Grow up and grow old then die
Around the merry go around
The merry go around again

[Chorus]
What is the purpose?
What is the point of me saying
Saying what is the purpose?
What is the meaning of your pathetic lives?
What is the point of me saying anything?

[Verse 2]
It's just all been a let down
And now they're phasing you out
Pulling you into their rabbit hole
Where the further the fall, the more you accept it

[Chorus]
What is the purpose?
What is the point of me saying
Saying what is the purpose?
What is the meaning of your pathetic lives?
What is the point of me saying anything?

[Bridge]
If you're content with being ants and pawns
Please stay where you are
One by one line up the march is on
For all the sacrificial pawns they are lined up one by one
The march is on for all the sacrificial pawns

[Chorus]
What is the purpose?
What is the point of me saying
Saying what is the purpose?
What is the meaning of your pathetic lives?
What is the point of me saying anything?

[Outro]
The march is on for all the sacrificial pawns
