Benny Andersson - 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 sh** 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] 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... [Chorus, repeatedly] 1956 - Budapest is rising [Freddie] I'd have thought you'd support Any attack on these people On the people who ran Mindlessly over your childhood Don't let them fool you For 30 years on They're the same [Chorus] 1956 - Budapest is fighting 1956 - Budapest is falling 1956 - Budapest is dying [Freddie] They see chess as a war Playing with pawns just like Poland 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?
