[00:00.000] 作曲 : Bob Dylan
[00:01.38]A bullet from the back of a bush took Medgar Evers' blood
[00:08.55]A finger fired the trigger to his name
[00:13.56]A handle hid out in the dark
[00:17.77]A hand set the spark
[00:19.90]Two eyes took the aim
[00:23.30]Behind a man's brain
[00:26.64]But he can't be blamed
[00:29.69]He's only a pawn in their game
[00:36.48]A south politician preaches to the poor white man
[00:43.35]You got more than blacks don't complain
[00:47.46]You're better than them you been born with white skin they explain
[00:54.63]And the Negro's name
[00:58.16]Is used it is plain
[01:01.44]For the politician's gain
[01:04.59]As he rises to fame
[01:06.94]And the poor white remains
[01:09.02]On the caboose of the train
[01:11.42]But it ain't him to blame
[01:13.60]He's only a pawn in their game
[01:23.18]The deputy sheriffs the soldiers the governors get paid
[01:29.87]And the marshals and cops get the same
[01:35.28]But the poor white man's used in the hands of them all like a tool
[01:43.20]He's taught in his school
[01:46.07]From the start by the rule
[01:48.55]That the laws are with him
[01:50.81]To protect his white skin
[01:53.23]To keep up his hate
[01:55.17]So he never thinks straight
[01:57.16]'Bout the shape that he's in
[01:59.29]But it ain't him to blame
[02:01.33]He's only a pawn in their game
[02:09.94]From the poverty shacks he looks from the cracks to the tracks
[02:17.19]And the hoof beats pound in his brain
[02:21.28]And he's taught how to walk in a pack
[02:25.39]Shoot in the back
[02:26.58]With his fist in a clinch
[02:29.96]To hang and to lynch
[02:32.80]To hide neath the hood
[02:34.87]To kill with no pain
[02:37.03]Like a dog on a chain
[02:39.18]He ain't got no name
[02:41.28]But it ain't him to blame
[02:43.27]He's only a pawn in their game
[02:51.82]Today Medgar Evers was buried from the bullet he caught
[02:58.82]They lowered him down as a king
[03:04.41]But when the shadowy sun sets on the one
[03:09.29]That fired the gun
[03:11.30]He'll see by his grave
[03:14.20]On the stone that remains
[03:16.70]Carved next to his name
[03:18.76]His epitaph plain
[03:21.16]Only a pawn in their game
