Soviet Pie

wolfhound

Long long time ago i can still remember
How that comrade used to make me smile
And i knew if i had a gun
That i could make those people run
And maybe id be happy for a while
But febuary made me shiver
With every state run paper id deliver
Bad news on the doorstep
I couldnt take one more step
I cant remember if i cried
When i heard about his widowed bride
But something touched me deep inside
The day that Stalin died
So.....

Bye Bye Miss Soviet pie
Drove my lada to the levee but the levee was dry
And them good old comrades were drinking vodka and rye
Singing this ill be the day that i die
This ill be the day that i die

Did you write the book of Marx?
And do you have faith in his remarks
If the party tells you so
And do disown the religous church
and believe in communised work
And can you teach me how to dig
real slow?
Well I know that your in love with him
cause I saw you dancing to a hymn
You both kicked off your shoes
Comrade I admire those cossack tunes
I was a non conformist juvenile broncin buck
With a red carnation and a pickup truck
But i knew that I was out of luck
The day that Stalin died
I started singing...
CHORUS

For ten years now we have been on our own
And moss grows fat on a rolling stone
But thats not how it used to be
When the jester sang for the tsar and tsarina
In a coat he borrowed from that famous Russian ballerina
And a voice that came from you and me
Oh and while the Tsar was looking down
The Jester stole his Thorny crown
The Gulag Courtroom was adjourned
No guilty verdict was returned
And while we all read books on Marx
The Army practiced in the park
We all sang for mother Russia in the Dark
The day that Stalin died
We were singing
CHORUS

I HAV TO SKIP THE NEXT VERSE

And we were all in one place
A generation lost in space
With no time to start again
So come on Ivan be nimble Ivan be quick
Ivan Flashky sat on a candlestick
Cos fire is Americas only freind
And as I watched him on the stage
My hands were clenched in fists of rage
No Angel born in hell
Could break that capitalists spell
And the flames climbed into the night
To show the industrialists might
I saw Kennedy laughing with delight
The day that Stalin died
He was singing
CHORUS

I met a girl who gave salutes
And I asked her for some happy news
But she just smiled and turned away
And I went down to the party store
were I had heard his speeches years before
But the comrade there said the speeches would not play
And in the streets the children screamed
The lovers cried and the engineers dreamed
But not a word was spoken
The former church bells wre all broken
And the three men I admire most
Marxs lenins and engels ghosts
They took the last train to the coast
The day that Stalin died
And they were singing
CHORUS
