Chess New York movie - No Contest lyrics

<br>

[WALTER]<br>

You take care you don't let<br>

Their shenanigans blind you<br>

And you're wrong to forget<br>

You've got your country behind you.<br>

<br>

[FREDDIE]<br>

You're a fool if you think you can wave a flag<br>

And inspire some dramatic action<br>

If I want bad enough then it's in the bag<br>

If I don't you're a mere distraction.<br>

<br>

[WALTER]<br>

You taught me, baby<br>

How the few who win acquire<br>

What their hearts desire<br>

It ain't practice, it ain't skill<br>

They'll help but not as much as wanting will.<br>

<br>

[FREDDIE]<br>

No contest, baby!<br>

Pay no mind to reputation<br>

You want concentration?<br>

When they pick him off the floor<br>

It's 'cause I wanted it a little more.<br>

<br>

[WALTER]<br>

You can win, you can lose<br>

Take or be a possession<br>

You taught me how to choose<br>

And the key is obsession.<br>

<br>

[FREDDIE]<br>

See my eyes, are they safe, are they even sane?<br>

Are they warm when they seem to greet you?<br>

You don't know, you can't tell, but it should be plain<br>

These are eyes that are gonna beat you<br>

Don't ever tell me<br>

I don't know the way to play it<br>

Do I have to say it?<br>

Doesn't matter what he tries<br>

I have him, you can see it in the eyes.<br>

<br>

[BOTH]<br>

No contest, baby!<br>

Barely any point in playing<br>

When it's just delaying<br>

What we both already know<br>

He lost it a woman and a half ago.<br>

<br>
