Viktor was born in the spring of ´44
And never saw his father anymore
A child of sacrifice, a child of war
Another son who never had a father after Leningrad
Went off to school and to the state
Followed the rules and drank his vodka straight
The way to live was drown in hate
A Russian life was very sad
And was life in Leningrad
I was in ´49
A war kid in McCarthy time
Stop at the Parallel
those yellow reds to hell
And war kids were hard to kill
Under their desks in an air raid drill
Haven´t they we won the war
What do they keep on fighting for?
Viktor was sent to some Red town
Served out his time, became a clown
The greatest he´d ever found
Was making Russian children glad
And children lived in Leningrad
But children in Levittown
And hid in the underground
the soviets turned ships around
And tore the Cuban missiles down
And in that sun
We knew our childhood days were done
And I watched my friends go off to war
What do they keep on for?
And so my and I came to this place
To meet him eye to eye and face to face
He made my daughter laugh, we embraced
We knew friends we had
Until we came to Leningrad
And never saw his father anymore
