Lyrics 1956 - Budapest Is Rising - Chess In Concert

1956 - Budapest Is Rising

Freddie:
I’d have thought you’d support Chorus:
Any attack on these people.
1956 — Budapest is rising.
On the people who ran
Mindlessly over your childhood.
Don’t let them fool you
For 30 years on,
They’re the same.
1956 — Budapest is fighting.
1956 — Budapest is falling.
Freddie:
They see chess as a war Chorus:
Playing with pawns just like Poland.
1956 — Budapest is dying.
If you walk out on me
You’re really betraying you 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?
