Leningrad - Billy Joel[00:00:00]

Written by：Billy Joel[00:00:01]

Viktor was born[00:00:22]

In spring of 44[00:00:24]

And never saw[00:00:28]

His father anymore a child of sacrifice[00:00:31]

A child of war[00:00:38]

Another son who never had[00:00:42]

A father after leningrad[00:00:46]

Went off to school[00:00:49]

And learned to serve the state[00:00:52]

Followed the rules[00:00:56]

And drank his vodka straight[00:00:59]

The only way to live[00:01:03]

Was drown the hate[00:01:06]

A russian life was very sad[00:01:10]

And such was life in leningrad[00:01:14]

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

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

Stop 'em 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 desk 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[00:01:50]

To some red army town[00:01:53]

Served out his time[00:01:57]

Became a circus clown[00:02:00]

The greatest happiness[00:02:04]

He'd ever found[00:02:07]

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

And children lived in leningrad[00:02:14]

Children lived in levittown[00:02:20]

And hid in the shelters underground[00:02:23]

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

Tore the cuban missiles down[00:02:31]

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]

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

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

And face to face[00:03:01]

He made my daughter laugh[00:03:04]

Then we embraced[00:03:08]

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

Until we came to leningrad[00:03:15]
