It took a while but now I see
My old man worked for the KGB

The government found out about

His work and had to take him out

It took a while but now I see

Why dad was such a mystery

Sometimes you cheat sometimes you lie
It's part of the job when you're a spy

It took a while but now I see

My old man worked for the KGB

The government found out about

His work and had to take him out

Sitting in the yard I didn't understand

Holding his dead body in my hands

Now it's getting clear to me

My dad he worked for the KGB

On the 4th of March in his backyard

A sniper shot him in the heart

He was only 53

But a hero for the KGB

A hero for the KGB

And a hero to me
