The problem is all inside your head, MY opponent said to me
The answer is easy if you take it logically
I'd like to help you in your struggle to be free
There must be fifty ways to play a cramped position
My opponent said, it's really not my habit to intrude
Furthermore, I hope my meaning won't be lost or misconstrued
But I'll repeat myself at the risk of being crude
There must be fifty ways to play a losing position
Fifty ways to play a losing position
You just slip out the back, Jack
Make a new plan, Stan
You don't need to be coy, Roy
Just push some pawns, Fawn
and get yourself free
Hop on the bus, Gus
You don't need to discuss much
Just knock off your king, Lee
And get yourself free
Ooh, slip out the back, Jack
Make a new plan, Stan
Just push some pawns, Fawn
You don't need to be coy, Roy
You just listen to me
Run out the clock, Brock
And hop on the bus with Gus
The bus, Gus
You don't need to discuss much
Just drop knock off the king, Lee
And get yourself free
My opponent said it grieves me so to see you in such pain
I wish there was something I could do to make you smile again
I need the full point, so don't ask for a draw
I said I appreciate that and would you please explain
About the fifty ways
My opponent said, why don't we both just adjourn and sleep on it tonight?
And I believe in the morning you'll begin to see the light
And then we shook on it and I realized, my opponent probably was right
There must be fifty ways to play a losing position
Fifty ways to play a losing position
Make an exchange, jane
Where is the plan, Stan
Play for a cheapo, Cleo
Just get yourself free, Lee
Oh,the bus is leaving, Gus
Go see Lee
You don't need to discuss much
Play for 3 peat repetition, Brittian
Just knock off the king, Lee
And get yourself free
Go desperado, Bernardo
Build the Barricade, Jade
Still no plan, Stan
Go see Lee
Don't be coy, Roy
Go see Lee
You just listen to me
There is always stalemate, Nate
Think draw, Claude
The bus left, Gus
You don't need to discuss much
Go see Lee
Tip the king, Lee
And get yourself free
