Paroles de The American And Florence

FLORENCE:
You want to lose our only friend?
Well keep it up, you're doing fine
Why this humiliation?
Why treat me like a fool?
I've taken shit for seven years
And I won't take it anymore

THE AMERICAN:
I'm only teasing Soviets
With gentle bonhomie
And you've a better reason to be anti-them than me

FLORENCE:
There's a time and there's a place

THE AMERICAN:
Is this the girl who always said
She wants to know the truth?

FLORENCE:
There's a time and there's a place

CHOIR:
1956, Budapest is rising
Mindlessly over you childhood
Don't let them fool you for
Thirty years on they're the same

CHOIR:
1956, Budapest is fighting, 1956, Budapest is falling

THE AMERICAN:
They see chess as a war
Playing with pawns just like Poland

CHOIR:
1956, Budapest is dying

THE AMERICAN:
If you walk out on me
They will have won the first battle
Wouldn't your father
Have begged you to stay in the game?

FLORENCE:
He would - but he didn't know you
He'd loathe your behavior and so do I
Why'd you have to do this to me?
(Leads into Nobody's Side)
