Chess - The Arbiter (feat. Marti Pellow) lyrics

rate me

The Arbiter:

I've a duty as a referee

At the start of a match--

On behalf of all our sponsors

I must welcome you

Which I do-- there's a catch:

I don't care if you're a champion,

No one messes with me.

I am ruthless in upholding

What I know is right,

Black or white, as you'll see.

Soloists:

I'm on the case, I'm on the case,

Can't be fooled. Can't be fooled.

Any objection Any objection

Is overruled. Is overruled.

Yes, I'm the Arbiter

And I know best.

Soloists:

He's impartial,

Don't push him,

He's unimpressed.

The Arbiter: Soloists:

You got your tricks, You got your tricks,

Good for you, Good for you,

But there's no gambit But there's no gambit

I don't see through. I don't see through.

Oh, I'm the Arbiter,

I know the score.

The Arbiter & Soloists:

From square one

I'll be watching all 64.

The Arbiter:

If you're thinking

Of the kind of thing

That we've seen in the past

Chanting gurus, walkie-talkies,

Walkouts, hypnotists,

Tempers, fists,

Not so fast.

This is not the start

Of World War Three--

No political ploys.

I think both your

Constitutions are terrific,

So know you know,

Be good boys.

Soloists:

I'm on the case, I'm on the case,

Can't be fooled. Can't be fooled.

Any objection Any objection

Is overruled. Is overruled.

Yes, I'm the Arbiter

And I know best.

Soloists:

He's impartial,

Don't push him,

He's unimpressed.

The Arbiter: Soloists:

You got your tricks, You got your tricks,

Good for you, Good for you,

But there's no gambit But there's no gambit

I don't see through. I don't see through.

Oh, I'm the Arbiter,

I know the score.

The Arbiter & Soloists:

From square one

I'll be watching all 64.

The Arbiter:

Oh, I'm the Arbiter,

I know the score.

The Arbiter & Soloists:

From square one

I'll be watching all 64.
