“Only a Pawn in Their Game” recalled the darkest day of the summer of 1963—the murder of Medgar Evers in Jackson. The song depicts Evers’s killer as just a tool of the real hatemongers of the South, the politicians who use racism to further their own careers:

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.
