[ti:Difficult and Dangerous Times]
[ar:Idina Menzel, David Bedella & Clarke Peters]
[al:Chess in Concert]
[00:20.950] {MOLOKOV & DIPLOMATS}
[00:23.000] No one can deny that these are difficult times
[00:27.940] No one can deny that these are difficult times
[00:32.010] {MOLOKOV, spoken}
[00:32.230] Miss Vassy
[00:32.590] {FLORENCE, spoken}
[00:32.950] Mr. Molokov
[00:33.170] {SOVIET DIPLOMATS}
[00:33.600] It's the U.S. versus U.S.S.R
[00:36.960] Yet we more or less are
[00:38.520] {AMERICAN DIPLOMATS}
[00:38.740] No one can deny that these are difficult times
[00:42.440] {SOVIET DIPLOMATS}
[00:42.660] To our credit putting all that aside
[00:45.470] We have swallowed our pride
[00:47.980] {AMERICAN DIPLOMATS}
[00:48.200] These are very dangerous and difficult times
[00:51.920] {FLORENCE}
[00:52.460] It really doesn't matter
[00:54.720] Who comes on top
[00:56.080] {MOLOKOV}
[00:56.300] Who gets the chop
[00:57.500] {MOLOKOV & DIPLOMATS}
[00:57.720] No one's way of life is threatened
[01:00.160] By a flop!
[01:03.820] But we're going to smash that bastard
[01:06.350] Make him wanna change his name
[01:09.340] Take him to the cleaners and devastate him
[01:11.840] Wipe him out, humiliate him
[01:14.170] We don't want the whole world saying
[01:16.070] "They can't even win a game."
[01:18.630] {WALTER}
[01:18.850] We have never reckoned
[01:19.990] On coming second
[01:21.170] {MOLOKOV}
[01:21.380] There's no use in
[01:24.910] Losing
[01:27.020] It's the red flag up against stars and stripes
[01:30.490] But we're peace-loving types
[01:31.900] {DIPLOMATS}
[01:32.110] No one can deny that these are difficult times
[01:35.970] {FLORENCE}
[01:36.190] It's a sweet hail-fellow-well-met affair
[01:39.440] {WALTER}
[01:39.660] For both eagle and bear
[01:41.170] {DIPLOMATS}
[01:41.390] These are very dangerous and difficult times
[01:45.580] {MOLOKOV}
[01:45.800] For those that say that
[01:47.430] This is not a friendly clash
[01:49.580] Don't be so rash
[01:50.960] I assure you, comrades
[01:52.990] That is balderdash
[01:57.040] {MOLOKOV & DIPLOMATS}
[01:57.260] What a load of whingeing peasants!
[01:59.500] Thinking they can win--they can't!
[02:02.350] What an exhibition of self-delusion
[02:04.700] This one's a forgone conclusion
[02:06.960] {MOLOKOV & SOVIET DIPLOMATS}
[02:07.180] But enough of all this beating
[02:09.460] Round the bushes of detente
[02:11.810] We intend to collar the Yankee dollar
[02:14.530] We shall thrash them!
[02:17.700] {ALL}
[02:17.910] Trash them!
[02:22.980] {MOLOKOV}
[02:23.220] How good to feel that
[02:24.910] As this great event begins
[02:27.660] It underpins
[02:31.550] Our quest for peace
[02:33.210] The bonds of common interest
[02:36.700] Of East and West
[02:40.660] {ALL}
[02:40.880] As long as our man wins
[02:48.300] As long as our man wins!
