Pawns Lyrics by Dead By Wednesday

The Killing Project

0

We are not pawns
Not just some followers that obey tradition
We see beyond
A foolish version of the world and remain strong
Lift your skinny wrists like weapons to the sky
And grab a tighter hold onto your life
Do not believe an iota of information disguised
We are not their pawns
We are not their pawns
We (we) are not their pawns
We (we) are not their pawns
Though they've strangled us since infancy
Mangled our minds in their pursuit of homogenization
Dream of a life
Without wasteful consumption
Dream of a world
Without oppression of a single race
We are not their pawns
[?]
We have agency
We have the power to say we're not victims
Thrust power back in their faces
And incinerate sacred places
They separate the worker from his product
And then expect him to become complacent
We are not their pawns
We are not their pawns
We (we) are not their pawns
We (we) are not their pawns
Take any necessary measures in all acts of social defiance
Don't be reliant on the system that abuses us
They need us more than we need them
They need us more than we need them
They need us more than we need them
They need us more than we need them
Stand straight
Raise your chin
Look at everything that's happening
This world
Deteriorating
Look at everything that's happening
Analyze
Begin to think
Look at everything that's happening
Don't just sit and accept it
Look at everything that's happening
(Straight)
We are not their pawns
We are not their pawns
We (we) are not their pawns
We (we) are (are) not their pawns
