R.O.S.I.E

so I’m just a pawn in your opinion
and what I do is a great deal, what I do’s for public weal
I know I owe these goodies to the union
to date I have not seen the doings you conceal
this is the answer to the pain
all I do, all I did grew inane
when the awareness fell in silence
silence, silence over me
all I gave, all I willed was intended
and traces back to a lie in silence
silence, silence as I see
so I am no longer your extension
no I am no more your foolish man
see I don’t give a damn about rewards
and now my hayfork beats you off
now my farm shuts off supply
this is the answer to the pain
all I do, all I did grew inane
when the awareness fell in silence
silence, silence over me
all I gave, all I willed was intended
and traces back to a lie in silence
silence, silence as I see
tired of obeying your moves
don’t you go on with your abuse
we are no longer the cue balls
this is the vengeance of the pawns
this is the answer to the pain
all I do, all I did grew inane
when the awareness fell in silence
silence, silence over me
all I gave, all I willed was intended
and traces back to a lie in silence
silence, silence as I see
all I do, all I ever had
since I was a lad
got to understand
and to step in
to break the silence
silence, silence over me
