Leningrad (Album Version)

Leningrad (Album Version) - Billy Joel (比利·喬)

Viktor was born in the spring of '44

And never saw his father anymore

A child of sacrifice a child of war

Another son who never had a father after Leningrad

Went off to school and learned to serve the state

Followed the rules and drank his vodka straight

The only way to live was drown the hate

A Russian life was very sad

And such was life in Leningrad

I was born in '49

A cold war kid in McCarthy time

Stop 'em all at the 38th Parallel

Blast those yellow reds to hell

Cold war kids were hard to kill

Under their desks in an air raid drill

Haven't they heard we won the war

What do they keep on fighting for
