lyrics
First he pushed a pawn
And then she pushed a pawn
Two instead of one
It’s called development
He tried to block her queen
Thought he understood the scene
It was elementary
And then he pushed a pawn
He did it en passant
So she lost another one
But then she won it back
By just sliding up to black
Not before he moved to white
With his other knight
And then she took him on
Marcel, he moved it wrong
It’s easy to forget
If your partner isn’t dressed
Still he opened up the rook
(The one she hadn’t took)
On the rank and file
She’s got a certain style
She wasn’t even seen
When she took his queen
from there, the game was done
Foregone conclusion:
She played Sicilian
Of course he didn’t know
For him it was part of the show
But she’d already won
You know why? Why?
Because she pushed a pawn
And now what a surprise
The queen has just arrived
He didn’t even see
That it was mate in three
Two, one, Two, one,
Two one, Two three.
He learned his lesson
Don’t underestimate a pawn
And then she pushed a pawn
Two instead of one
It’s called development
He tried to block her queen
Thought he understood the scene
It was elementary
And then he pushed a pawn
He did it en passant
So she lost another one
But then she won it back
By just sliding up to black
Not before he moved to white
With his other knight
And then she took him on
Marcel, he moved it wrong
It’s easy to forget
If your partner isn’t dressed
Still he opened up the rook
(The one she hadn’t took)
On the rank and file
She’s got a certain style
She wasn’t even seen
When she took his queen
from there, the game was done
Foregone conclusion:
She played Sicilian
Of course he didn’t know
For him it was part of the show
But she’d already won
You know why? Why?
Because she pushed a pawn
And now what a surprise
The queen has just arrived
He didn’t even see
That it was mate in three
Two, one, Two, one,
Two one, Two three.
He learned his lesson
Don’t underestimate a pawn

Mank (Original Musical Score) WITH EXTRAS
by Trent Reznor & Atticus Rosssupported by 4 fans who also own “Eve Babitz”
This soundtrack currently stands out most in the body of soundtrack work by Trent & Atticus, it's also a LOT of content. It's fascinating to see what they chose to do with a live orchestra and era-appropriate musical styles. A great listen for focusing, or for background (especially to drown out the hell of living around other people in an urban hellscape).
