Lyrics
<lyrics>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 me, too Stop left, go right, no U-turn Where's the God damn 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
Sex and drugs and rock and roll Pieces lie right before you This puzzle can't be done wrong So come along 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 of gold I know it's hard 'Cause you've got a lot to do
La la la, la la la </lyrics>
