[Intro]
Here's song called, uh, "Once I Lived the Life of a Commissar"
[Verse]
Oh, once I lived the life of a commissar
Ran a collective, drove a state owned car
Taking my comrades to the Kremlin bar
Buying that high priced vodka, caviar
Then I began to fall so low
Tried and convicted in old Moscow
If I ever get my hands on the party again
I'm gonna hold on to it just like East Berlin, because
Nobody knows you
When you're purged and out
In my pockets, not a five year plan
I'd better join all those students rioting thеre in Japan
But if I ever gеt back on my own two feet again
Gonna purge all those comrades that turned me in
It's mighty strange, without a doubt
Nobody knows you when you're purged and down
But if I ever get back on my own two feet again
Gonna purge all those comrades that turned me in
It's mighty strange, as far as I can see
Good old red China is the place for me
