《Leningrad》歌词

时长： 04:04

Viktor was born in the spring of '44[00:00:22]

And never saw his father anymore[00:00:28]

A child of sacrifice a child of war[00:00:35]

Another son who never had a father after Leningrad[00:00:42]

Went off to school and learned to serve the state[00:00:49]

Followed the rules and drank his vodka straight[00:00:56]

The only way to live was drown the hate[00:01:02]

A Russian life was very sad[00:01:09]

And such was life in Leningrad[00:01:12]

I was born in '49[00:01:20]

A cold war kid in McCarthy time[00:01:23]

Stop 'em all at the 38th Parallel[00:01:26]

Blast those yellow reds to hell[00:01:30]

And cold war kids were hard to kill[00:01:33]

Under their desks in an air raid drill[00:01:37]

Haven't they heard we won the war[00:01:40]

What do they keep on fighting for [00:01:44]

Viktor was sent to some Red Army town[00:01:50]

Served out his time became a circus clown[00:01:57]

The greatest happiness he'd ever found[00:02:04]

Was making Russian children glad[00:02:10]

And children lived in Leningrad[00:02:15]

But children lived in Levittown[00:02:21]

And hid in the shelters underground[00:02:24]

Until the Soviets turned their ships around[00:02:27]

And tore the Cuban missiles down[00:02:30]

And in that bright October sun[00:02:34]

We knew our childhood days were done[00:02:37]

And I watched my friends go off to war[00:02:40]

What do they keep on fighting for [00:02:44]

And so my child and I came to this place[00:02:51]

To meet him eye to eye and face to face[00:02:57]

He made my daughter laugh then we embraced[00:03:04]

We never knew what friends we had[00:03:11]

Until we came to Leningrad[00:03:16]
