Chess In Concert - Difficult And Dangerous Times lyrics

Molokov & Diplomats: No one can deny that These are difficult times. No one can deny that These are difficult times. Molokov: [Spoken] Miss Va**y. Florence: [Spoken] Mr. Molokov. Diplomats: It's the U.S. versus U.S.S.R. Yet we more or less are. No one can deny that These are difficult times. To our credit putting all that aside We have swallowed our pride. These are very dangerous, And difficult times. Florence: It really doesn't matter Who comes on top. Molokov: Who gets the chop. Molokov & Diplomats: No one's way of life Is threatened By a flop. But we're going to Smash that ba*tard. Make him wanna Change his name. Take him to the cleaners And devastate him, Wipe him out, Humiliate him. We don't want The whole world saying "They can't even win a game." Walter: We have never reckoned On coming second. Molokov: There's no use in Losing. It's the red flag up against Stars and stripes, But we're peace-loving types. Diplomats: No one can deny that These are difficult times. Florence: It's a sweet Hail-fellow-well-met Affair. Walter: For both eagle and bear. Diplomats: These are very dangerous And difficult times. Molokov: For those who say that This is not a friendly clash-- Don't be so rash. I a**ure you, comrades, That is balderdash. Molokov & Dilpomats: What a load of Whingeing peasants! Thinking they can win-- They can't! What an exhibition Of self-delusion. This one's a forgone Conclusion. But enough of all this beating Round the bushes of detente. We intend to collar The Yankee dollar. We shall thrash them! All: Trash them! Molokov: How good to feel that As this great event begins It underpins Our quest for peace-- The bonds of common interest Of East and West. All: As long as our man wins. As long as our man wins.
