Molokov and Anatoly Lyrics by David Bedella, Josh Groban
Chess In Concert (Live)
2009
[MOLOKOV, spoken] Ha ha ha ha ha The man is utterly mad Believe me, Anatoly, you're playing a lunatic [ANATOLY, spoken] That's the problem He's a brilliant lunatic And you can't tell which way he'll jump Like his game, he's impossible to analyze You can't predict him, dissect him Which of course means he's not a lunatic at all [MOLOKOV] What we've just seen's a pathetic display From a man who's beginning to crack He's afraid He knows he isn't the player he was And he won't get it back [ANATOLY] Nonsense! Why do you people Always want to believe Third-rate propaganda? [MOLOKOV] My friend, please relax We're all on your side You know how you need us— [ANATOLY] I don't need my army Of so-called "advisors" And helpers To tell me the man Who's revitalized chess single-handed Is more or less out of his brain When it's very clear he's sane [MOLOKOV] Listen, we don't underestimate Trumper We won't get caught in that trap After all Winning or losing reflects on us all— [ANATOLY] Oh, don't give me that crap I win—no one else does And I take the rap if I lose [MOLOKOV] It's not quite that simple The whole world's tuned in We're all on display We're not merely sportsmen— [ANATOLY] Oh, please don't start spouting that old party line Yes, I know it's your job But just get out and get me My chess-playing second In thirty-six hours we begin That is if you want to win [MOLOKOV, spoken] Wanting is not sufficient We have to know We have to make sure All men have a weakness: his is that woman Take her, and you win the game [ANATOLY, spoken] So you think I can't win otherwise? [MOLOKOV, spoken] I'm not saying that I'm just making certain And she is attractive Then there's her intriguing family history— Hungary, 1956 and all that [ANATOLY, spoken] I'm a chess player, Mr. Molokov You go and play these other games
