Part of my job is to say what I know to them, to put them on the guard.
I don't want to be the pawn and the chessboard to be pushed by whoever is playing.
I want to be the pusher, to control myself and to give opportunity to less fortunate
who is now [G] in the position [Bb] that I was.
[Eb] [Db]
[Ab] [Eb] [Db]
[Ab] [Eb] [Cm] [Db]
I'm a wanted man.
[Ab] I'm a wanted man right now in the [Eb] world.
You see, I'm a wanted man.

[Ab] [Eb] [Db] I'm a wanted, [Ab] [Cm] wanted man.
[Db] I'm a wanted, [Ab] wanted [Eb] man.
[Gm] I'm [C] a [Ab] wanted man.

Who [Db] should I be?
Who [Ab] should I be?
Who [Eb] should I be?
Burn in the fire, burn [Db] in the fire, [Ab] burn in the fire, [Eb] burn in the fire, [Dbm] burn [Db] in the [Ab] [Eb] fire.
