1988 Broadway Chess the Musical - 1956 – Budapest is Rising Lyrics
FLORENCE: You want to lose your 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
FREDDIE: 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
FREDDIE: (spoken) Well, how about here and now, Are you for me or are you for them?
FLORENCE: There's a time and there's a place...
SOLOISTS: 1956 - Budapest is rising 1956 - Budapest is rising
FREDDIE: I'd have thought you'd support Any attack on these people
SOLOISTS: 1956 - Budapest is rising
FREDDIE: On the people who ran Mindlessly over your childhood Don't let them fool you For 30 years on They're the same
SOLOISTS: 1956 - Budapest is fighting 1956 - Budapest is falling
FREDDIE: They see chess as a war Playing with pawns just like Poland
SOLOISTS: 1956 - Budapest is dying
FREDDIE: If you walk out on me You're really betraying your father Were he alive now he'd surely Be dying of shame
FLORENCE: You know that there's nothing I've done That he'd be ashamed of In my whole life! Why'd you have to do this to me?
