Tim Rice - No Contest lyrics

[WALTER] You take care you don't let Their shenanigans blind you And you're wrong to forget You've got your country behind you [FREDDIE] You're a fool if you think you can wave a flag And inspire some dramatic action If I want bad enough, then it's in the bad If I don't, you're a mere distraction [WALTER] You taught me, baby How the few who win acquire What their hearts desire It ain't practice, it ain't sk** They'll help, but not as much as wanting will [FREDDIE] No contest, baby Pay no mind to reputation You want concentration? When they pick him off the floor It's 'cause I wanted it a little more [WALTER] You can win, you can lose Take or be a possession You taught me how to choose And the key is obsession [FREDDIE] See my eyes, are they safe, are they even sane? Are they warm when they seem to greet you? You don't know, you can't tell, but it should be plain These are eyes that are gonna beat you Don't ever tell me I don't know the way to play it Do I have to say it? Doesn't matter what he tries I have him, you can see it in the eyes [BOTH] No contest, baby Barely any point in playing When it's just delaying What we both already know He lost it a woman and a half ago He lost it a woman and a half ago
