Lyrics Dr. Zhivago - Neon Neon

Dr. Zhivago

When I was young I didn’t know my left from right
My parents kept me prisoner from love
And as I grew up I noticed how some lives are born
Into suffering and tragedy
Fighting for my country against fascism and cruelty
Then I saw the workers plight
Came to me in pieces, building up a thesis
Rome wasn’t built over night
Dr. Zhivago
I’m just waiting for my cold embargo
To be lifted and I’ll bathe in your success and golden light
Cold war dictator
I once believed but now I can’t accept you
How you treated Pasternak and Hungary — you upset me
1956 turned to ‘57
I was still a party animal
But not for long
There had to be a better way
To get our point across
So Justice could prevail today
Dr. Zhivago
I’m just waiting for my cold embargo
To be lifted and I’ll publish all your manuscripts tonight
Cold war dictator
I once believed but now I can’t accept you
How you treated Pasternak and Hungary — you upset me
