Chess New York movie - No Contest lyrics
rate me<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>
