A bullet from the back of a bush took medgar evers blood [00:00:01]

A finger fired the trigger to his name [00:00:08]

A handle hid out in the dark[00:00:13]

A hand set the spark[00:00:17]

Two eyes took the aim[00:00:20]

Behind a mans brain[00:00:23]

But he cant be blamed[00:00:26]

Hes only a pawn in their game [00:00:29]

A south politician preaches to the poor white man [00:00:36]

You got more than the blacks dont complain [00:00:43]

Youre better than them [00:00:47]

You been born with white skin they explain [00:00:50]

And the negros name[00:00:54]

Is used it is plain[00:00:58]

For the politicians gain[00:01:01]

As he rises to fame[00:01:04]

And the poor white remains[00:01:07]

On the caboose of the train[00:01:09]

But it aint him to blame[00:01:11]

Hes only a pawn in their game [00:01:13]

The deputy sheriffs the soldiers the governors get paid [00:01:23]

And the marshals and cops get the same [00:01:30]

But the poor white mans used[00:01:35]

In the hands of them all like a tool [00:01:39]

Hes taught in his school[00:01:43]

From the start by the rule[00:01:46]

That the laws are with him[00:01:48]

To protect his white skin[00:01:50]

To keep up his hate[00:01:53]

So he never thinks straight[00:01:55]

Bout the shape that hes in[00:01:57]

But it aint him to blame[00:01:59]

Hes only a pawn in their game [00:02:01]

From the poverty shacks [00:02:10]

He looks from the cracks to the tracks [00:02:12]

And the hoof beats pound in his brain [00:02:17]

And hes taught how to walk in a pack[00:02:21]

Shoot in the back[00:02:25]

With his fist in a clinch[00:02:27]

To hang and to lynch[00:02:30]

To hide neath the hood[00:02:32]

To kill with no pain[00:02:35]

Like a dog on a chain[00:02:37]

He aint got no name[00:02:39]

But it aint him to blame[00:02:41]

Hes only a pawn in their game [00:02:43]

Today medgar evers was buried[00:02:52]

From the bullet he caught [00:02:54]

They lowered him down as a king [00:02:58]

But when the shadowy sun sets on the one[00:03:04]

That fired the gun[00:03:09]

Hell see by his grave[00:03:11]

On the stone that remains[00:03:14]

Carved next to his name[00:03:16]

His epitaph plain:[00:03:18]

Only a pawn in their game[00:03:21]
