Chess

Chess is such a difficult game

There are so many pieces

So many squares where you can go

So few promises

Never you mind all the others

Anticipating your next move

I know it's hard, 'cause you've got a lot to do

Street signs and traffic lights

Ever confusing the issue

Stop, left, go right, no U-turn

Where's the goddamn exit?

Never you mind all the others

Influencing your next move

I know it's hard, 'cause you've got a lot to prove

La la la la la la la~

Sex and drugs and rock and roll

The pieces lie right before you

This puzzle can't be done wrong

So come on while you can

Never you mind all the others

Anticipating your next move

Never you mind all the others

Never you mind what they do

Don't let them get you down, 'cause if they do

You'll be trapped forever under their shoe

Here is the paintbrush, so go

I know it's hard, 'cause you've got a lot to do

La la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la~
