Just Another Pawn in Your Game - The Mission

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
