lyrics

Verse 1

The Czar that once guided us now has divided us
Tell me how were we to know
We never asked for gold or silk, we only wanted bread and milk
to feed our children as they grow

See the change in me, I don't want to be what I see I am now

Verse 2

The leaders that rule us, so playfully fool us,
its all that we can do to stay alive
Its just the system that we forsake, there watching every move we make
It isn't easy to survive

See the change in me, I don't want to be what I see I am now

Bridge

I'm not surprised that you closed your eyes when we killed the Czar
Can you hear the cries of land that fly's the bright red star
A chance we had to take it's our very own mistake but don't you see
The war machines and the victory scenes will never be our home

Mother russia russia russia mother russia russia russia...........
