Musicals - Chess - Pity The Child #2 Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • [Verse 1]
  • Frederick:
  • When I was nine
  • I learned survival
  • Taught myself not to care.
  • I was my single good companion,
  • Taking my comfort there.
  • Up in my room
  • I planned my conquests
  • On my own,
  • Never asked for a helping hand.
  • No one would understand.
  • I never asked the pair who fought below,
  • Just in case they said no.
  • [Bridge]
  • Pity the child who has ambition
  • Knows what he wants to do,
  • Knows that he'll never fit the system
  • Others expect him to.
  • Pity the child who knew his parents
  • Saw their faults,
  • Saw their love die before his eyes.
  • Pity the child that wise
  • He never asked, "Did I cause your distress?"
  • Just in case they said yes.
  • [Verse 2]
  • When I was twelve my father moved out
  • Left with a whimper, not with a shout.
  • I didn't miss him, he made it perfectly clear,
  • I was a fool and probably queer.
  • Fool that I was, I thought this would bring
  • Those he had left closer together.
  • She made her move
  • The moment he crawled away
  • I was the last the woman told,
  • She never let her bed get cold
  • Someone moved in, I shut my door.
  • Someone to treat her
  • Just the same way as before.
  • [Bridge]
  • I took the road of least resistance,
  • I had my game to play.
  • I had the skill, and more, the hunger
  • Easy to get away.
  • Pity the child with no such weapons,
  • No defence,
  • No escape from the ties that bind,
  • Always a step behind.
  • I never called to tell her all I'd done,
  • I was only her son.
  • [Outro]
  • Pity the child, but not forever,
  • Not if he stays that way.
  • He can get all he ever wanted
  • If he's prepared to pay.
  • Pity instead the careless mother
  • What she missed, what she lost
  • When she let me go.
  • I wonder does she know?
  • I wouldn't call
  • A crazy thing to do,
  • Just in case she said who.
