Chess is such a difficult game.
There’s 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 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 got a lot to do.
Lalala lalala…

Sex and drugs and rock ‘n roll,
Pieces lie right before you.
This puzzle can’t be done wrong.
So conquer ‘em all 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 a paintbrush, now go on.
I know it’s hard ‘cause you got a lot to do.
Lalala lalala…
