Текст песни: Checkers and Chess + перевод

I’m playing Checkers while they’re playing Chess

They make the big moves and make me a little less

Even when I win, beat the pants off of the best

I’m still playing Checkers while they’re playing Chess

I’ve learned all the rules of the game

Fast way I play 'em when I lose 'em just the same

Nothing’s fair in this world of blind chance

A rich man takes the money, the old man takes the blame

I’m playing Checkers while they’re playing Chess

They make the big moves and make me a little less

Even when I win, beat the pants off of the best

I’m still playing Checkers while they’re playing Chess

(Instrumental break)

The day were born where all? old

Some cuts from the cloth straight from the king’s robe

The rest of us can’t even be pawn

But we wear soldier’s uniforms, dying for their?

I’m playing Checkers while they’re playing Chess

They make the big moves and make me a little less

Even when I win, beat the pants off of the best

I’m still playing Checkers while they’re playing Chess
