Pity the child
Chess Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm not the kind
To be vindictive--
Holding some childish grudge.
How could I be?
I'm in the spotlight--
Half of the world my judge.
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.
The lyrics to "Pity the Child" in Chess's musical paint a vivid picture of a child, Frederick, who craves attention and affection. Frederick is in the spotlight, and he feels like the world is judging him. He's not someone to hold grudges, but he demands compassion and empathy from those he serves--those who benefit from his skills and time. Frederick's pain is palpable, and he wants his hard work to be recognized and appreciated. It is something he deserves, yet constantly lacks in his life as an entertainer.
The song highlights the challenges of being in the limelight, while also acknowledging the deep-seated human desire for compassion and understanding. Frederick's frustration is relatable, as many people have experienced the pain of feeling like their hard work isn't valued or appreciated, and this can be especially true for entertainers. The song leaves the listener feeling sympathetic for those individuals who work hard to entertain others and often remain overlooked.

How could I be?
Why would I be that way?
I'm in the spotlight--
I'm a public figure
Half of the world my judge.
I'm constantly being judged by others
All I demand
All I ask for

I agree. He has a rock and roll voice, not an operatic voice, but every time he has been cast in a role, it was because he, and only he, was perfect for the part.
@BarbAF100
I want to see him perform the role of Judas since he was so great on the original Jesus Christ Superstar album. Some one needs to tell him to get going on that project! : )
@kimberlygabaldon3260
Me2 he is definitely my favorite Judas.
