We are the pawns And our moves are controlled by somebody else Each in his time Is removed without care and placed on the shelf We can‛t hope to survive We‛ve not the power to alter the course Each of us in our lives Must attend to release our ties to the source Don‛t step out of line How can we win? Can we risk making moves that end in surprise? Surely our strength Is not really seen as much in their eyes There‛s safety in numbers we‛re told But we need the help of someone inside Someone who knows place and time Someone who‛s not afraid to decide Don‛t step out of line We just can‛t take anymore We‛ve been fooling ourselves for too long It‛s time for a change Time to put our plans in flight And take what is rightfully ours Tonight we strike! Now that we‛re in Things will be different, there‛ll be quite a change It‛s taken so long Now that we run things, it all feels so strange We‛ll look after our own We‛ll clothe and feed them, control their design Things will run smoothly, we‛re sure So long as the new ones don‛t step out of line Don‛t step out of line
