Only A Pawn In Their Game Lyrics – Bob Dylan
Singer: Bob Dylan
Title: Only A Pawn In Their Game
A bullet from the back of a bush took Medgar Evers’ blood
A finger fired the trigger to his name
A handle hid out in the dark
A hand set the spark
Two eyes took the aim
Behind a man’s brain
But he can’t be blamed
He’s only a pawn in their game.
A South politician preaches to the poor white man
“You got more than blacks, don’t complain
You’re better than them, you been born with white skin” they explain
And the Negro’s name
Is used it is plain
For the politician’s gain
As he rises to fame
And the poor white remains
On the caboose of the train
But it ain’t him to blame
He’s only a pawn in their game.
The deputy sheriffs, the soldiers, the governors get paid
And the marshals and cops get the same
But the poor white man’s used in the hands of them all like a tool
He’s taught in his school
From the start by the rule
That the laws are with him
To protect his white skin
To keep up his hate
So he never thinks straight
‘Bout the shape that he’s in
But it ain’t him to blame
He’s only a pawn in their game.
From the powerty shacks, he looks from the cracks to the tracks
And the hoof beats pound in his brain
And he’s taught how to walk in a pack
Shoot in the back
With his fist in a clinch
To hang and to lynch
To hide ‘neath the hood
To kill with no pain
Like a dog on a chain
He ain’t got no name
But it ain’t him to blame
He’s only a pawn in their game.
Today, Medgar Evers was buried from the bullet he caught
They lowered him down as a king
But when the shadowy sun sets on the one
That fired the gun
He’ll see by his grave
On the stone that remains
Carved next to his name
Only a pawn in their game.

Only A Pawn In Their Game – Terjemahan / Translation
Peluru dari belakang Bush mengambil darah Medgar Evers
Jari menembakkan pelatuk ke namanya
Pegangan menyembunyikan dalam gelap
Sebuah tangan mengatur percikan
Dua mata mengambil tujuan
Di belakang otak pria
Tapi dia tidak bisa disalahkan
Dia hanya bidak dalam permainan mereka.
Seorang politisi selatan berkhotbah kepada orang kulit putih miskin
“Kamu punya lebih dari kulit hitam, jangan mengeluh
Anda lebih baik dari mereka, Anda dilahirkan dengan kulit putih “mereka jelaskan
Dan nama negro
Digunakan itu polos
Untuk keuntungan politisi
Saat dia terbiasa dengan ketenaran
Dan sisa-sisa putih miskin
Di Caboose dari kereta
Tapi bukan dia untuk disalahkan
Dia hanya bidak dalam permainan mereka.
Wakil Sheriff, para prajurit, gubernur dibayar
Dan marsekal dan polisi mendapatkan yang sama
Tetapi orang kulit putih miskin itu digunakan di tangan mereka semua seperti alat
Dia diajarkan di sekolahnya
Dari awal oleh aturan
Bahwa hukum bersamanya
Untuk melindungi kulit putihnya
Untuk menjaga kebenciannya
Jadi dia tidak pernah berpikir lurus
‘Tentang bentuk yang dia masuki
Tapi bukan dia untuk disalahkan
Dia hanya bidak dalam permainan mereka.
Dari powery gubuk, dia melihat dari celah ke trek
Dan kuku mengalahkan pound di otaknya
Dan dia diajari cara berjalan dalam kemasan
Memotret
Dengan kepalanya di sebuah klaim
Untuk menggantung dan ke Lynch
Untuk menyembunyikan ‘neath the hood
Untuk membunuh tanpa rasa sakit
Seperti anjing pada rantai
Dia tidak punya nama
Tapi bukan dia untuk disalahkan
Dia hanya bidak dalam permainan mereka.
Hari ini, Medgar Evers dimakamkan dari peluru yang dia tangkap
Mereka menurunkannya sebagai raja
Tetapi ketika matahari terbenam diatur di satu
Itu menembakkan pistol
Dia akan melihat dengan kuburnya
Pada batu yang tersisa
Diukir di sebelah namanya
Hanya bidak dalam permainan mereka.
