Chess (Complete Cast Album) - Diplomats текст песни

ALL
No one can deny that these are difficult times.
No one can deny that these are difficult times.

MOLOKOV
Mr. DeCaussy!

WALTER
Mr. Molokov

SOVIETS
It's the US vs USSR,
Yet we more or less are

AMERICANS
No one can deny that these are difficult times!

SOVIETS
To our credit putting all that aside
We have swallowed our pride

AMERICANS
These are very dangerous and difficult times!

WALTER
It really doesn't matter who comes out on top.

MOLOKOV
Who gets the chop.

AMERICANS
No ones way of life is threatened
By a flop

ALL
But we're gonna smash their 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!"

AMERICANS
We have never reckoned on coming second.

SOVIETS
There's no use in
Losin'

AMERICANS
It's the red flag up against stars and stripes,
but we're peace loving types.

SOVIETS
No one can deny that these are difficult times!

WALTER
It's a sweet hail-fellow-well-met affair
For both eagle and bear

AMERICANS
These are very dangerous and difficult times!

MOLOKOV
To those that say that this is not a friendly clash
Don't be so rash
I assure you comrades that is
Balderdash

AMERICANS
What a load of whinging 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.

SOVIETS
We intend to collar the Yankee dollar.

AMERICANS
We shall trash them, thrash them!

MOLOKOV
How good to feel that as this great begins
It underpins
Our quest for peace that sponsors common interest
Of east and west.

AMERICANS
As long as our man wins!

SOVIETS
As long as our man

ALL
Wins!
