Checkmate

Welcome to the show, are you ready to go?

With your swords up high and your guns down low

Have you come for the action? Come for the sport?

There's a million ways to spill blood in the court

It's a free-for-all, it's a dog-eat-dog

Don't be surprised if when you die, you're met with rigorous applause

Wanna win? You got a chance, all you gotta do is dance

Oh, move your feet and move 'em fast

Who knows how long your limbs will last?

Who is your king of the castle now?

I'm taking control of the board game

Show me some strategy

I'm in a daze, I can't complain, so

Checkmate, move along

You are marching, aching, you need a break

It's a common response for your hands to shake

I know it's not easy losing a match

Especially when it's a girl kicking your ass

Sit down and relax, 'cause I'm the teacher, you're the class

Get your notebooks out, give that note a pass

You know no one's perfect, but I'm pretty close

You should've seen your face, a right disgrace

When I came in through that door

Are you the queen or are you the pawn?

Will you master the night or wait for the dawn?

Is it worth all the blood and the damage done?

Would you die under the spotlight just to hear all the applause?

Are you the queen or are you the pawn?

Will you master the night or wait for the dawn?

Is it worth all the blood and the damage done?

Would you die under the spotlight just to hear all the applause?

Checkmate, move along

Move along, move along now
