Lyrics
Now Comrade, you're one of us. Never looked on a Western shore. The curtain lays in front of us. Don't speak or think of all the goods that you won't find tomorrow, after waiting several hours in line. It's just a way of life.
Our Stalin is sung about like a father or a God. What's more - the U.S.A? He'll rub 'em out! Don't speak or think of all the goods that you won't find tomorrow, after waiting several hours in line for a miracle. It's just a way of life. It's all we know.
I'm locked in a car on a train with pain to come. Gulag!
I'm lost in a dream or a game my name is gone. Gulag!
