Lyrics
The revolution looked so clean
The revolution appeared ideal and flawless
Through the filters on your tv screen
Viewed through the distortions of television screens
It's easy to believe it's right
It's easy to accept it as morally right
When you're young, rich and white
Especially when you are young, wealthy, and Caucasian
Lenin's work so easily done
Lenin's achievements achieved effortlessly
Those who questioned put to the gun
Those who questioned the regime faced violence
Is this the way that it must be
Questioning if this is the inevitable course
Workers enslaved while the bourgeoisie are free
Workers are oppressed while the privileged class is free
The last cries of a crumbling regime
The final cries of a collapsing government
Built on the people's dreams
Built upon the aspirations of the people
Screams still echo in the red square
Screams still resonate in Moscow's red square
The stench of slaughter still clings to the air
The odor of slaughter lingers in the atmosphere
You speak of freedom, party slogans on the wall
Talking about freedom with party slogans on display
But are you really ready, will you heed the dead man's call
Questioning the readiness to answer the call of the deceased
Fool's dreams in a little red book
Foolish aspirations found in a small red book
Seen it before and can't bare to look
Witnessed it before and can't bear to witness again
Millions dead, thousands enslaved
Millions dead, thousands in bondage
Digging the pit of the workers grave
Digging the grave for the working class
It's a trick they've played my friends
A deceptive tactic orchestrated by those in power
The lies of those in power never end
The falsehoods of the ruling class are unending
The kremlin was never filled with reds
The Kremlin was never occupied by communists
But the ghosts of businessmen
Instead, haunted by the spirits of businessmen
