Mother Russia |
Lenin lies so stately, Karl’s a forgotten man |
Joseph played his cards wrong, 'cos he couldn’t understand |
History is bunkum, I heard some American said |
If you can’t deal with the living, you might as well be with the dead |
Mother Russia, your sons have left you crying in the rain |
Your sadness tears my heart out, but it isn’t easy to explain |
The rat race is coming to get you, is boney hands reach long |
You might as well forget you, ever played a different song |
No Tolstoy no Tchaikovsky, gonna get you out of this |
Just close your eyes and turn your cheek, get ready for the Judas kiss |
Mother Russia, your sons have left you crying in the rain |
Your sadness tears my heart out, but it isn’t easy to explain |
I walk your fields in wonder, as I softly call your name |
Mamma, Mamma, Mamma, isn’t it a shame, isn’t it a shame |
Isn’t it a shame, isn’t it a shame, isn’t it a shame |
In war your sons were taken, in peace they built a wall |
Their future’s now forsaken, who’ll be there to break your fall? |
Mother Russia, your sons have left you crying in the rain |
Your sadness tears my heart out, but it isn’t easy to explain |
I walk your fields in wonder, as I softly call your name |
Mamma, Mamma, Mamma, isn’t it a shame, isn’t it a shame |
Isn’t it a shame, isn’t it a shame, isn’t it a shame |
Mamma, Mamma, Mamma, isn’t it a shame, isn’t it a shame |
Mamma, Mamma, Mamma, isn’t it a shame, isn’t it a shame |
