Difficult And Dangerous Times (Live)

No one can deny that
These are difficult times
No one can deny that
These are difficult times.

Miss Vassy.
Mr. Molokov.

It's the U.S. versus U.S.S.R.
Yet we more or less are
No one can deny that
These are difficult times
To our credit putting all that aside
We have swallowed our pride
These are very dangerous
And difficult times.

It really doesn't matter
Who comes on top
Who gets the chop.

No one's way of life
Is threatened
By a flop
But we're going to
Smash that bastard
Make him wanna
Change his name
Take him to the cleaners
And devastate him
Wipe him out
Humiliate him
We don't want
The whole world saying
"They can't even win a game."

We have never reckoned
On coming second.

There's no use in
Losing
It's the red flag up against
Stars and stripes
But we're peace-loving types.

No one can deny that
These are difficult times.

It's a sweet
Hail-fellow-well-met
Affair
For both eagle and bear
These are very dangerous
And difficult times.

For those who say that
This is not a friendly clash
Don't be so rash
I assure you, comrades
That is balderdash.

What a load of
Whingeing peasants!
Thinking they can win
They can't!
What an exhibition
Of self-delusion
This one's a forgone
Conclusion
But enough of all this beating
Round the bushes of detente
We intend to collar
The Yankee dollar
We shall thrash them!
Trash them!

How good to feel that
As this great event begins
it underpins
Our quest for peace
The bonds of common interest
Of East and West.

As long as our man wins
As long as our man wins.
