It's a shame about Stalin, the curator said |
|
He really was one of the best |
|
Just look at the detail on that head |
|
Too bad to melt him down with the rest |
|
But since they wrote him out of the history books |
|
Nobody gives him a second look |
|
It's amazing how little time it took |
|
And now he's never gonna get his statue up in Red Square |
|
I remember Krushchev, the old man said |
|
He had real strength in his jaw |
|
The setting sun would turn his skull pale red |
|
But now they've packed him off to the store |
|
He used to know how to stir things up back then |
|
Banging his shoe on the table at the UN |
|
He said he'd bury the west again and again |
|
But now he's never gonna get his statue up in Red Square |
|
Too bad about Lenin, the old man sighed |
|
he really had quite a run |
|
For seventy years he was idolized |
|
Even though he missed most of the fun |
|
But the new revolution promised everyone cars |
|
So they burned down the Kremlin and brought back the Tsars |
|
Now they're spraying blue paint over all the red stars |
|
And he doesn't even have his picture up in Red Square |
