The Arbiter (Live)

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.

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.

He's impartial
Don't push him
He's unimpressed.

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.

From square one
I'll be watching all 64.

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.

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.

He's impartial
Don't push him
He's unimpressed.

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.

From square one
I'll be watching all 64.

Oh, I'm the Arbiter
I know the score.

From square one
I'll be watching all 64.
