    'The Game'

    Let me tell you something I figured out today
    Life is kinda like a big chess game
    Every major event in this world that’s taken place
    Is a turn closer towards checkmate
    Behind a wall of pawns the king stays back
    Doing anything to avoid an oncoming attack
    Sacrificing pawns is a small price to pay
    Just as long as they win in the end anyway
    Just as long as the king is kept in tact
    And comes out scratch free from any attack
    And you know, that’s exactly what our leaders do
    They’re quite happy to sacrifice thousands of troops
    Then they say they’ve all died for a greater cause
    But tell that to the people who open their loved ones death reports
    Their expressions change when they start to lie
    It’s like that devious gleam in your opponents’ eye
    That tells you they’re one step ahead of you
    But you grin when they think you don’t have a clue
    And you fight your strongest and your best
    It’s like a 2 million strong city street protest
    In the end the opponent does something they shouldn’t of done
    And that’s when you know you’ve won
    Time is just slowly waiting for the event
    That revolution finally comes into effect

    They think they’ve got the upper hand
    But we’ll win at the end of the day
    This game of chess is a struggle for life
    And we’ll win no matter what we must pay
    There will be suffering in the process
    There will be times when you wanna give up
    But stay strong and don’t make any bad moves
    And the winners of this game will be us

    The twin towers were castles in this chess game
    Nothing more than a sacrifice that caused so much pain
    So much that we nearly gave up on everything that day
    It was a day that some sick bastard threw it all away
    I remember it was three o’clock and I was in RE class
    When there was an announcement saying get out of class fast
    Come to the assembly hall for an emergency meeting
    The teachers said nothing to get anyone freakin’
    As they connected the TV to the big projector screen
    What everyone saw was like something out of a bad dream
    Everyone in that room started panicking and crying
    The teachers said it’ll be okay but we knew they were lying
    From that day on the world changed for us all
    Prejudice once again started standing tall
    Anyone who looked even remotely Middle Eastern
    Got much worse, much horrible treatment than anyone else
    Hell, one of my friends nearly killed himself because of it
    Some bastard wouldn’t stop calling his family illegal immigrants
    And everyday it would be the same routine
    He’d go around treating him like a fucking disease
    That’s when I got tired of the shit
    Being mixed-race myself it was my duty to butt in
    Every punch I gave was my statement of play
    That we should be stickin’ to conquer this game
    Pawns don’t attack each other you son of a bitch
    We’re on the same team and we’re not even about to quit
    But if you wanna make matters worse by racial slurs
    I’ll make you regret your momma ever gave you birth
    And anyway we might all be pawns in this thing
    But pawns are always one step ahead of the king

    They think they’ve got the upper hand
    But we’ll win at the end of the day
    This game of chess is a struggle for life
    And we’ll win no matter what we must pay
    There will be suffering in the process
    There will be times when you wanna give up
    But stay strong and don’t make any bad moves
    And the winners of this game will be us

    Stop the timer
    The whole city goes quiet
    Then suddenly millions run out on the street
    Its like the people have set up their own army
    They’re all running towards the door of the leader
    Even the police are eager to get inside
    And tell the bastard sitting in the chair
    Checkmate motherfucker
    Some dream huh?
    But its not a dream, its what’s next for us human beings

    They think they’ve got the upper hand
    But we’ll win at the end of the day
    This game of chess is a struggle for life
    And we’ll win no matter what we must pay
    There will be suffering in the process
    There will be times when you wanna give up
    But stay strong and don’t make any bad moves
    And the winners of this game will be us
