In Elton John's song 'Levon' what does 'pauper to a pawn' mean?

Get a dictionary and read some poetry. A pauper is simply a poor man. A pawn is someone who is being used by someone else. Soldiers in a war are often referred to as pawns, though that is not the only situation in which a man can be a pawn. Presumably, Levon's father may have been a soldier, since the song does mention that the "war's begun." Hope this helps!

Who did Elton John get his last name from?
His various nicknames have different origins. His most popular nickname, "Rocket Man", is directly based off of his hit song from 1972 and is often considered his signature song. He is also commonly referenced as "Captain Fantastic", which originated from his first autobiographical album, Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy, released in 1975. His less-known nickname as "Piano Man" is more commonly attributed to fellow piano man Billy Joel, but in reality, Elton had made claim to the name first, in the subtle lyrics of another hit song from 1971, "Tiny Dancer". Rod Stewart gave him the nickname "Sharon", a name mostly fans call him, and in return, Elton calls Rod "Phyllis". He is also sometimes called "Hercules" by fanatics, based from his middle name and an unheard of song, "Hercules", from Honky Chateau (same album from which Rocket Man was from), but is used fairly rarely.If you mean his name of "Elton John", he had taken "Elton" from Elton Dean, Bluesology [a small band he was in for a few years in the 60's before he broke of and became popular] saxophonist, and "John" from Long John Baldry, Bluesology lead singer. His middle name, "Hercules", actually did not originate from the mythological character, but from a horse in a comedy show he watched as a kid. He legally changed his name from his birth name "Reginald Kenneth Dwight" to "Elton Hercules John" in 1972.
