"Komrade Kiev" lyrics - COREY HART

I watch the paper every day
They drink the same cup of tea
I read the TV everyday
They deal the same cards for me
I turn my head now to the left
And see the marx upon your face
I turn my head now to the right
See the darkness of your light
I didn't see the flag you raised
Through the glory that we praised
There's a child that stands amazed
At the craziness we've paved

And the sun will shine through winter time
And I pray the rain will someday end the flame

Shoot komrade Kiev
That's what they say to me
Shoot komrade Kiev
Shoot komrade Kiev
That's what they're telling me
Shoot komrade Kiev

And through the pride and prejudice
You blind the truth you couldn't miss
For the target you have drawn
Won't bite the hand that cuts the arm
And when the story's finally told
That each man's heart was bought and sold
There was no enemy you see
Only the doubt in you and me

I know the sun will shine through winter time
I pray the rain may someday end the flame

Shoot komrade Kiev
That's what they say to me
Shoot komrade Kiev
Shoot komrade Kiev
That's what they're telling me
Shoot komrade Kiev

I've walked through mother Russia
In the cold of winter time
And I've seen
Every mountain that each man wants to climb

But I know -
Farewell to arms
That one day the sun will shine - oh
Shoot komrade Kiev
