Pawn in the Game

lyrics

Two hundred years ago
When our nation was starting to grow
Life, liberty and happiness
Were the things we wanted to know
But happiness became the king
And took over everything
And in pursuing happiness
We lost the very thing that would make us blessed

We lost the Lord
No wonder we’re so bored
We’re just a pawn in the game

The West is not to be
In the book of prophecy
We sold our crown to the pleasure clown
For an inexpensive fee
And it isn’t very far
From a plastic credit card
To a number on your head before you can be fed a loaf of bread

Keep looking to the east
And watching for the beast
We’re just a pawn in the game
(What a shame)

Many years from now
I can hear them saying how
America came and America went
Turned under by the plow
While other nations stand
With orders in their hands
To turn the course of time under the force of the evil one’s command

We gave away the right
To be a nation of the light
Now we’re a pawn in the game
(What a shame)

Keep looking to the east
And watching for the beast
We’re just a pawn in the game
(What a shame)

And nobody can afford
To not be reaching for the Lord
We’re just a pawn in the game
We’re just a pawn in the game
(Pawn in the game what a shame)
(Pawn in the game what a shame)
(Pawn in the game what a shame)
