It's always the same, you're playing that game,

you're pointing out all the external blame,

we do it all wrong while you do it right,

B one to B four goes the white white knight.

You're sneering polite, but really not quite,

you call me a cheat when you lose out of spite

you wave with the rulesbook that you didn't read,

your pawn captured en passant by me.

White white knight with your judging light,

you think your chess is a moral fight.

you want all the playing without all the slaying,

but all that you do is mindless obeying.

Laws are laws and rules are rules,

you're not a person, you're a book,

you're not a knight, you are the rook.

F four to G four, checkmate this fool.

You're choking it back, that visceral crack,

the fear that your virtue's a tactic you lack.

You crafted the cage from the rules you extol,

but the king that you serve is the one in your soul.

So make your next move, it's pathetic to see,

the prison you guard is where you'll always be.

The game was for freedom, you missed the whole point,

a knight without courage is just a weak joint.

White white knight with your judging light,

you think your chess is a moral fight.

you want all the playing without all the slaying,

but all that you do is mindless obeying.

Laws are laws and rules are rules,

you're not a person, you're a book,

you're not a knight, you are the rook.

F four to G four, checkmate this fool.

The board is a mess, you're under duress,

your final defense is a pious confess.

You sermonize loud to the captured and beat,

while telegraphing moves with your white-knuckle feat.

Your castle has fallen, your purpose is through,

the only square left is the one you stood on, true.

So pick up your pieces, this battle is done,

the check that I called was the very first one.

White white knight with your judging light,

you think your chess is a moral fight.

you want all the playing without all the slaying,

but all that you do is mindless obeying.

Laws are laws and rules are rules,

you're not a person, you're a book,

you're not a knight, you are the rook.

F four to G four, checkmate this fool.

White white knight with your judging light,

you think your chess is a moral fight.

Laws are laws and rules are rules,

you're not a person, you're a book,

you're not a knight, you are the rook.

F four to G four, checkmate this fool.
