Followed the rules and drank his vodka straight
The only way to live was drown the hate
A russian life was very sad, and such was life in Leningrad.

Gm       Dm           A#
I was born in '49, a cold war kid in McCarthy time

Stop 'em at the 38th parallel, blast those yellow Reds to Bell
Gm              Dm         A#
Cold war kids were hard to kill under their desks
in an air raid drill
F
Haven't they heard we won the war

What do they keep on fighting for?

Pattern 1:
Victor was sent to some Red Army town
Served out his time, became a circus clown
The greatest happiness he ever found
Was making Russian children glad,
and children lived in Leningrad.

Pattern 2:
Children lived in Levittown, headed for shelter underground
'Til the Soviets turned their ships around,
tore the Cuban missiles down
And in that bright October sun we knew our childhood days
were done
And I watched my friends go off to war
What do they keep on fighting for?

Pattern 1:
And so my child and I came to this place
To meet him eye to eye and face to face
He made my daughter laugh, then we embraced
We never knew what friends we had until we came to Leningrad.
