On the checker-board
Of ministers
Politicians and lords
We are anonymous, I have no name
The people are pawns in the game
Of partyocracy

Tools to be used
By Westminster’s kings, to be moved
In their game of chess against the yellow and the blue
And forgotten when the curtains are drawn
Expendable, never to be mourned

So pawns!
Storm the castles to topple the kings
Ignore the bishops dogma, forget diagonal we can move forward!
Tear down the queens, for we shall not be pawns!
The board belongs to us, we shall not be pawns!
We shall not be pawns!

Tools to be used
By Westminster’s kings, to be moved
In their game of chess against the yellow and the blue
And forgotten when the curtains are drawn
Expendable, never to be mourned

We shall not be pawns!
Storm the castles to topple the kings
Ignore the bishops dogma, forget diagonal we can move forward!
Tear down the queens, for we shall not be pawns!
The board belongs to us, we shall not be pawns!
We shall not be pawns!

We shall not be pawns!

We shall not be pawns!

We shall not be pawns!

We shall not be pawns!
