Around the board we move, shining in the sun
Whether here or there it's the same name that parts the lips
We are all faced with the broadest stroke so I move like you
The pawn, the hand

And wonder why hearts don’t reach out
Still we try to tell you that this is the way
Get ready to lie, steal, cheat
This is our time

Lie, steal, cheat and you know why
They say it’s all for us so beneath the mighty wing
We sleep wrapped in a dream
Smooth like honey poured from noble rights of birth
If they tell you this is the way then who are you to doubt?

Slow and sly, hegemony rights your way (it’s our way)
But in awhile we’ll show you that this is the way
Look in the eyes of the ones that bear, for all, the weight of light
