If you spend more time in a bar than a chapel

If you're more inclined to take a bite of the apple

If your good didn't take, if you can't fake your way

Through a dinner at a country club

If you spent last christmas wearing handcuffs

If your screw's all loose, then you're just like us.

Well, there's always room for a couple more

Wannabe kings falling off the board

Little plastic pieces all red and black

Well, everybody in here's got a checkered past

Everybody in here's got a checkered past.

If you feel more at home at a cheap motel

If your ideal heaven is raising hell

If you got more cars in your front yard

Than a black friday walmart parking lot

If you're on a first name basis with the cops

If you got a gun but you ain't got a shot.

Well, there's always room for a couple more

Wannabe kings falling off the board

Little plastic pieces all red and black

Well, everybody in here's got a checkered past

Everybody in here's got a checkered past.

Double-jumping little squares

Come from nothing and everywhere

You make a bad move?, who cares

It's an easy game when we're all the same.

Yeah, there's always room for a couple more

Wannabe kings falling off the board

Little plastic pieces all red and black

Well, everybody in here's got a checkered past

Everybody in here's got a checkered past

Everybody in here's got a checkered past

Everybody in here's got a checkered past.
