King's Gambit Lyrics - David Conlin
Throughout history, they paid with their pain,
time and again, they were pawns in the game,
workers, women, children, minorities,
misused for the rich man's priorities.
For colour, race or religion enslaved,
persecuted, subdued and underpaid,
hunger and thirst were the commoner's lot,
predestined by birth to be a have-not.
Now the poorhouses of earlier dates,
are replaced by slums and council estates.
Downtrodden beneath the oppressor's boot,
the nature of the ruling class is moot,
whether fascist, commie, capitalist,
liberal or lip-serving socialist,
most are concerned with their personal gains,
and the rift between rich and poor remains.
In decades to come - only one or two -
with the world no longer the one we knew,
the survivors, our children, wonder why,
their parents condemned the planet to die.
Sacrifices on the chessboard of life,
are made by the weak, in war and in strife,
those who revolt against being a pawn,
are detained in gulags or shot at dawn,
or in what we call 'democratic fiefs,
jeered at and ridiculed for their beliefs.
The one consolation as one grows old,
as is lowered into a six-foot pit,
whether your coffin is wooden or gold,
wealthy or needy, you won't give a shit.
