Chessman

you keep trying to make a chessman out of me
you keep trying to make a chessman out of me
you pick me up and you put me back down
on the square where you think I oughta be
 
you keep trying to make a chessman out of me
you keep trying to make a chessman out of me
don’t matter if I’m black or white
you rip my rook and you knock my knight
 
you keep trying to make a chessman out of me
you keep trying to make a chessman out of me
you pick me up and you put me back down
on the square where you think I oughta be
 
you keep trying to make a chessman out of me
you keep trying to make a chessman out of me
don’t matter if I’m queen or king
you decide if I sink or sing
 
you keep trying to make a chessman out of m-a-ay
you keep trying to make a chessman out of m-a-ay
you pick me up and you put me back down
on the square where you think I oughta stay
don’t matter what square I’m on
you bitch my bishop and you punk my pawn
you keep trying to make a chessman out of me
