Don't Step Out of Line

We are the pawns

And our moves are controlled by somebody else

Each in his time

Is removed without care and placed on the shelf

We can‛t hope to survive

We‛ve not the power to alter the course

Each of us in our lives

Must attend to release our ties to the source

Don‛t step out of line

How can we win?

Can we risk making moves that end in surprise?

Surely our strength

Is not really seen as much in their eyes

There‛s safety in numbers we‛re told

But we need the help of someone inside

Someone who knows place and time

Someone who‛s not afraid to decide

Don‛t step out of line

We just can‛t take anymore

We‛ve been fooling ourselves for too long

It‛s time for a change

Time to put our plans in flight

And take what is rightfully ours

Tonight we strike!

Now that we‛re in

Things will be different, there‛ll be quite a change

It‛s taken so long

Now that we run things, it all feels so strange

We‛ll look after our own

We‛ll clothe and feed them, control their design

Things will run smoothly, we‛re sure

So long as the new ones don‛t step out of line

Don‛t step out of line
