Rome is burning down
The embers fading out
I would have shed my own blood
For the scrap metal crown

You can spend your life
Trying to rekindle the fire

We are pawns, We are pawns
In some hunger games, hunger games
Move the pawns round the board
Chase the people's dreams away
We are pawns, we are pawns
In some hunger games, hunger games
Am I just quenching the fire
Or are we fixing up the empire?

Is this Ichabod?
Have you fled this place
Am I an unsung hero or just covered in disgrace
Do these words amount much
Or are they untapped wisdom or just toxic and corrupt

I was beautiful
Origami in your hand
But now I'm crumpled up
Only worthy of the trash

We are pawns, We are pawns
In your hunger games, hunger games
Move the pawns round the board
Chase the people's dreams away
We are pawns, we are pawns
In your hunger games, hunger games
Am I just quenching the fire
Or are we fixing up the empire?

The emperor has got no clothes and I think that he knows it
He seems happy in skin while the cracks appear and the city burns down
I think over got it made and parade these golden pavements
But, oh, I'm the one who's naked and showing myself up in all my glory...?!

We are pawns, We are pawns
In your hunger games, hunger games
Move the pawns round the board
Chase the people's dreams away
We are pawns, we are pawns
In your hunger games, hunger games
Pouring petrol on the fire while you're fixing up the empire
