Chess is such a difficult game
There's so many pieces
So many squares where you can go
So few promisesNever you mind all the others
Anticipating your next move
I know it's hard
'Cause you've got a lot to doStreet signs and traffic lights
Ever confusing me, too
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 provela la la, la la la...Sex and drugs and rock and roll
Pieces lie right before you
This puzzle can't be done wrong
So come along while you canNever you mind all the others
Anticipating your next move
Never you mind all the others
Never you mind what they doDon't let them get you down
'Cause if they do
You'll be trapped forever
Under their shoe
Here is a paintbrush of goldI know it's hard
'Cause you've got a lot to dola la la, la la la...
