It was well conceived in theory but it doesn't work in life
*
Comrade has to wonder: “Is it ever worth the effort?”
*
Well I don't know, but I've been told not to hang on to my hope
* 45 5450
Well I don't know, but I've been told and I've been listening all my life
If you're ever less than certain about the world
C*323023 5450
Please don't let the worry make its way into your work
And if you would stick up for me in the face of some adversity
C*323023 5450
Know that I would only do the same
Cuz it was well conceived in theory but it doesn't work in life
But me I will not write it off not ever having tried
Well I don't know, but I've told not to hang on to my hope
Well I don't know, but I've told that these are lies and they get old
So look me in the eyes under expanding winter skies
You'll find a feeling there that never knows the cold
Look me in the eyes and the skeptic in me dies
The skeptic is a fool, we are exceptions to the rule
Cuz this is our land
This is our land
I will cross it holding your hand
From Kursk ____ to Moscow we will not be turned away
This is our land
This is our land
I will cross it holding your hand
In crooked streets of Petersburg
We are all the same
So if you're ever less than certain about the world
Please don't let the worry make its way into your work
And if you would stick up for me in the face of great adversity
Know that I would do the same
Know we are the same
If you would stick up for me
Speak kindly and poetically
You can be my personal ambassador to the world
And if you're ever less than certain
I will be your Iron Curtain
I will be your Berlin Wall
/E
And I will never fall
