Checkmate

Someone said once
That words don't mean a thing
Money and guns
Rule the world we're living in
First you need to do some action
If you want to get a reaction
Break the rules before they come
And rule you out

A remedy
For desperate days in silence
Have you seen
The news are filled with violence
And you're feeling that anger
It makes you a living danger
The countdown's running
Soon the trigger will be pulled

I thought i saw you goin' down
This afternoon
Cold-eyes and pale-faced on the ground
Realized what you wanted to do

And now you're free to leave
A footnote in the history
Of men
Revolution is over

Stormy weather
And risky calculations
It would be better
To rectify this situtation
But the wheels will keep on turning
Politicians won't be learning
And we're checkmate before we can even move

Love yourself
Just like you love your money
Someone else
Will clean up for you, honey
And you're gettin' into raging
Take your gat, enter the stage and
Straighten out the things
On your own accout
