Difficult and Dangerous Times Lyrics by Chess in Concert Cast

Chess In Concert (Live)

2009

[DIPLOMATS]
No one can deny that these are difficult times
No one can deny that these are difficult times
[MOLOKOV, spoken]
Miss Vassy
[FLORENCE, spoken]
Mr. Molokov
[SOVIET DIPLOMATS]
It's the U.S. versus U.S.S.R. 
Yet we more or less are
[AMERICAN DIPLOMATS]
No one can deny that these are difficult times
[SOVIET DIPLOMATS]
To our credit putting all that aside
We have swallowed our pride
[AMERICAN DIPLOMATS]
These are very dangerous and difficult times
[FLORENCE]
It really doesn't matter
Who comes on top
[MOLOKOV]
Who gets the chop
[DIPLOMATS]
No one's way of life is threatened by a flop!
But we're going to smash that bastard
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 that say that
This is not a friendly clash
Don't be so rash
I assure you, comrades
That is balderdash
[DIPLOMATS]
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
[SOVIET DIPLOMATS]
But enough of all this beating
Round the bushes of detente
We intend to collar the Yankee dollar
We shall thrash them!
[FLORENCE, WALTER & AMERICAN DIPLOMATS]
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
[MOLOKOV, FLORENCE, WALTER & DIPLOMATS]
As long as our man wins
As long as our man wins!
