Chessboard

1.

What if life was just like chess and God the ruler of the game?
No need to choose or guess, whichever move it's all the same.
A carefree world of fun, I guess I'll last another day.
And when this world is done, he could just sweep us all away.

Chorus

Step by step move forward, me and you.
Dog eat dog, if that will help you too.
Quick or dead, tell me: who is who?
Life is more than this game of war
Get me off this chessboard!

2.

For eighty years or so we walk this earth and to what end?
Just get all you can, but not so much that you offend.
The false sense of control I think I have will blow your mind
For I am just a pawn, and every move I make is blind.
