Life is like a game
War and battles of chess
The pieces killing themselves
Until the king is left
Living in the square grid
Together we find our way
Try to fit in this stupidity
Waking up every day

We have a game to play
We are programmed to win
We have to do what they say
The Sun is burning our skin
We have our bills to pay
We have our kids to teach
With eyes covered with pepper spray
And other players to reach

Into all the chaos
To be alive is a bless
Rolling all the dices
Avoiding all this mess
Building up a legacy
Trying to avoid the hate
Surrounded by enemies
Next move is checkmate

Next move is checkmate
Next move is checkmate
Next move is checkmate
Next move is checkmate

We have a game to play
We are programmed to win
We have to do what they say
The Sun is burning our skin
We have our bills to pay
We have our kids to teach
With eyes covered with pepper spray
And other players to reach

I can't hear what you say
I don't care where you've been
You have to do what it takes
I only play for the win
You really should move your king
You're falling into my scheme
I've got checkmate

We have a game to play
We are programmed to win
We have to do what they say
The Sun is burning our skin
We have our bills to pay
We have our kids to teach
With eyes covered with pepper spray
And other players to reach
