Chess - Pity the Child Lyrics

1988 Broadway
Chess the Musical - Pity the Child Lyrics


FREDDIE:
I'm not the kind
To be vindictive--
Holding some childish grudge
How can I be?
I'm in the spotlight--
Half of the world my judge

All I demand
Is those I work for
Those I give all my skills
All my time, and pain
Those that I entertain
Give me the same
Compassion in return
But the fools never learn
