Tim Rice - You Want to Lose Your Only Friend? lyrics

[FLORENCE] You want to lose your only friend? Well, keep it up you're doing fine! Why this humiliation? Why treat me like a fool? I've taken sh** for seven years And I won't take it anymore [FREDDIE] 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 [FREDDIE] (spoken) Well how about here and now? Are you for me or for them? [FLORENCE] There's a time and there's a place... [FREDDIE] 1956: Budapest is rising 1956: Budapest is fighting 1956: Budapest is falling I'd have thought you'd support Any attack on these people On the people who ran Mindlessly over your childhood Don't let them fool you, for Thirty years on, they're the same [FLORENCE] 1956: Budapest is fighting 1956: Budapest is dying... [FREDDIE] They see chess as a war Playing with pawns just like Poland If you walk out on me You're really betraying your 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?
