Leningrad -- Billy Joel[00:00:05]

Viktor was born in the spring of '44[00:00:06]

And never saw his father anymore[00:00:26]

A child of sacrifice a child of war[00:00:32]

Another son who never had a father after Leningrad[00:00:40]

Went off to school and learned to serve the state[00:00:47]

Followed the rules and drank his vodka straight[00:00:54]

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

A Russian life was very sad and such was life in Leningrad[00:01:07]

I was born in '49[00:01:15]

A cold war kid in McCarthy time[00:01:21]

Stop 'em at the 38th Parallel[00:01:25]

Blast those yellow reds to hell[00:01:28]

And cold war kids were hard to kill[00:01:32]

Under their desk in an air raid drill[00:01:36]

Haven't they heard we won the war[00:01:39]

What do they keep on fighting for [00:01:42]

Viktor was sent to some Red Army town[00:01:46]

Served out his time became a circus clown[00:01:55]

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

Was making Russian children glad and children lived in Leningrad[00:02:08]

But children lived in Levittown[00:02:16]

And hid in the shelters underground[00:02:22]

Until the Soviets turned their ships around[00:02:25]

Tore the Cuban missiles down[00:02:29]

And in that bright October sun[00:02:32]

We knew our childhood days were done[00:02:36]

And I watched my friends go off to war[00:02:39]

What do they keep on fighting for [00:02:43]

So my child and I came to this place[00:02:46]

To meet him eye to eye and face to face[00:02:55]

He made my daughter laugh then we embraced[00:03:02]

We never knew what friends we had until we came to Leningrad[00:03:08]
