1956 - Budapest Is Rising Lyrics by Adam Pascal

Chess In Concert (Live)

2009

[ENSEMBLE]
1956—Budapest is rising
[FREDDIE]
I'd have thought you'd support
Any attack on these people
[ENSEMBLE]
1956—Budapest is rising
[FREDDIE]
On the people who ran
Mindlessly over your childhood
Don't let them fool you
For thirty years on, they're the same
[ENSEMBLE]
1956—Budapest is fighting
1956—Budapest is falling
[FREDDIE]
They see chess as a war
Playing with pawns just like Poland
[ENSEMBLE]
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?
