《Leningrad》歌词

[00:00:00] Viktor was born in the spring of '44

[00:00:03] And never saw his father anymore

[00:00:06] A child of sacrifice a child of war

[00:00:24] Another son who never had a father after leningrad

[00:00:28] Went off to school and learned to serve the state

[00:00:35] Followed the rules and drank his vodka straight

[00:00:40] The only way to live was drown the hate

[00:01:02] A russian life was very sad

[00:01:03] And such was life in leningrad

[00:01:10] I was born in '49

[00:01:18] A cold war kid in mccarthy time

[00:01:40] Stop 'em at the 38th parallel

[00:01:42] Blast those yellow reds to hell

[00:01:46] And cold war kids were hard to kill

[00:01:52] Under their desk in an air raid drill

[00:01:56] Haven't they heard we won the war

[00:02:00] What do they keep on fighting for

[00:02:06] Viktor was sent to some red army town

[00:02:13] Served out his time became a circus clown

[00:02:22] The greatest happiness he'd ever found

[00:02:26] Was making russian children glad

[00:02:32] And children lived in leningrad

[00:02:35] But children lived in levittown

[00:02:36] And hid in the shelters underground

[00:02:42] Until the soviets turned their ships around

[00:02:45] And tore the cuban missiles down

[00:02:47] And in that bright October sun

[00:02:48] We knew our childhood days were done

[00:02:49] And I watched my friends go off to war

[00:03:16] What do they keep on fighting for

[00:03:17] And so my child and I came to this place

[00:03:24] To meet him eye to eye and face to face

[00:03:31] He made my daughter laugh then we embraced

[00:03:36] We never knew what friends we had

[00:03:42] Until we came to leningrad
