Pin on c3, Break on e5

Verse 1

Pawns on c6, d5 and e6, my wall

My a-pawn on a6 guards b5, that's all

He plays b3, my bishop to b4 6.b3 Bb4

My bishop pins his knight on c3, for sure

Knight to d7, castles short, so smooth 7.Bd2 Nbd7 8.Bd3 O-O

His bishop stuck on d2, lost his groove

Chorus

He plays b3, my bishop to b4 6.b3 Bb4

My bishop pins c3, that's the core

Knight to d7, castles short, I'm alive 7.Bd2 Nbd7 8.Bd3 O-O

Bishop to d6, pawn to e5 9.O-O Bd6 10.Rc1 e5

Verse 2

He takes on d5, I take back 11.cxd5 cxd5

Knight takes on e5, bishop takes e5 12.dxe5 Nxe5 13.Nxe5 Bxe5

My bishop on e5 is eyeing h2

My d-pawn stands alone on d5

Never let it sleep, keep my pieces alive

Chorus

He plays b3, my bishop to b4 6.b3 Bb4

My bishop pins c3, that's the core

Knight to d7, castles short, I'm alive 7.Bd2 Nbd7 8.Bd3 O-O

Bishop to d6, pawn to e5 9.O-O Bd6 10.Rc1 e5

Bridge

My half-open e-file, his half-open d

The open c-file, where the rooks come home

The queens leave early, a rook ending looms

Only four in ten get decided, we roam

Chorus

He plays b3, my bishop to b4 6.b3 Bb4

My bishop pins c3, that's the core

Knight to d7, castles short, I'm alive 7.Bd2 Nbd7 8.Bd3 O-O

Bishop to d6, pawn to e5 9.O-O Bd6 10.Rc1 e5

Outro

He plays b3, my bishop to b4 6.b3 Bb4

Pin on c3, then e5 is my door

The whole song hangs on one idea: the bishop check-pin on b4 makes White's bishop go to d2 instead of b2, the bishop strolls back to d6, and the e5 break opens the centre into a calm, drawish, endgame-leaning game where Black's lone d-pawn lives only as long as the pieces stay active.
