The American and Florence
Chess

FLORENCE:
You want to lose our only friend?
Well keep it up, you're doing fine
Why this humiliation?
Why treat me like a fool?
I've taken shit for seven years
And I won't take it anymore

THE AMERICAN:
I'm only teasing Soviets
With gentle bonhomie
And you've a better reason to be anti-them than me

FLORENCE:
There's a time and there's a place

THE AMERICAN:
Is this the girl who always said
She wants to know the truth?

FLORENCE:
There's a time and there's a place

CHOIR:
1956, Budapest is rising

THE AMERICAN:
I'd have thought you'd support
Any attack on these people
On the people who ran
Mindlessly over you childhood
Don't let them fool you for
Thirty years on they're the same

CHOIR:
1956, Budapest is fighting, 1956, Budapest is falling

THE AMERICAN:
They see chess as a war
Playing with pawns just like Poland

CHOIR:
1956, Budapest is dying

THE AMERICAN:
If you walk out on me
They will have won the first battle
Wouldn't your father
Have begged you to stay in the game?

FLORENCE:
He would - but he didn't know you
He'd loathe your behavior and so do I
Why'd you have to do this to me?
(Leads into Nobody's Side)
