Just Another Pawn In Your Game

(album: The Brightest Light - 2013)

I wish I knew then what I know now
I've been the ass that's pulled the plough
Was it just yesterday when you had so much to say
And now when you open your mouth you just bray
You're always looking for someone else to blame
You're always looking to fan the flame
You've always got some wild beast to tame
And I'm just another pawn in your game

I betcha David Bowie knows my name
And Morrisey, He'll deny it, but I'd guess the same
They'd say 'Hussey is a harlot just dress him up in scarlet
Whilst I am a star He's just a starlet'
You're always trying so hard to impress
You're always saying no when you're meaning yes
You're always looking for credit you can claim
And I'm just another pawn in your game

Never try to catch a falling knife
Bugsy hailed a cab to the afterlife
I ain't the kind to sup from any old dirty cup
When you're going down I'm coming up
You're always looking for some new fad to embrace
You've always got some wild goose to chase
You've always got a new picture for your frame
And I'm just another pawn in your game
