The Clash:
I Fought the Master and the Master won
"My rating down in the hot sun,
I fought the Master and the Master won,
I needed points 'cause I had none,
I fought a Master but the Master won.
Killed my Queen, it felt so bad...
Guess my race is run...
Robbin' people with an unsound gambit,
I fought the Master and the Master won..."
