In Red Square

Lyrics for In Red Square

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
