Press Conference

by Aaron Tveit

Lyrics
Is your psychosis why you're the only American to defeat the Soviets, who have superior training?
By superior training, I assume you're referring to the fact that they're snatched from their families as little kids, then trained like rats in a cage their entire childhood
After I'm done with Anatoly Sergievsky the KGB will make him disappear, just like Boris Ivanovich
A grandmaster vanishes off the face of the earth and you cowards don't even cover it because you're too busy bashing me
Why do you persist with vicious attacks
Ungracious remarks re-opponents?
It smacks of a lack of conviction, admit you're under duress
And that your only skill left is for money, not chess
If Soviet life's as grim as you claim
Then how come their boys are so good at the game?
Though you swear the American dream is clearly the best
You're no advertisement for life and times in the West
Oh, I'm so sorry that I'm not your ideal role model
Why would you risk the whole match breaking down?
That's absurd, I never break down
All your outrageous demands, self-conceit
I don't see anything outrageous in demanding what I'm worth
They pay you all that you ask for and then you demand even more
I'm the reason you're all here
Who's ever heard of Sergievsky?
It's hard to believe
What we're reporting
Why so disparaging?
Not very sporting
You're out of your minds
The Soviets murdered one of their chess players for losing a match, is that sporting?
Well, what did I say? He's out of his tree
He's finally flipped, and between you and me
He's no hope of retaining his crown in this frame of mind
In fact, he shouldn't have come here, he should have resigned
Smile, you got your first exclusive story (Well, what did I say? He's out of his tree, he's finally flipped)
Now you can bask in his reflected glory (And between you and me he's no hope of retaining his crown in his frame of mind, in fact, he shouldn't have come here, he should have resigned)
Naked, unprovoked Yankee aggression (In this frame of mind, he should be dumped, he should resign, if he is in this frame of mind, he should be dumped, he should resign)
Oh, what a credit to your great profession (In this frame of mind, he should be dumped, he should resign)
Well, what did I say? He's out of his mind
He shouldn't have come here, he should have resigned
