Lived in the east on the Asian front
Siberian snows in the tundra
A working mind upheld
For us to understand
He spit at the czar at the palace gates
Wearing an ushanka hat
A revolution man at a time
For him to make a stand
Soviet Union man
He tries to make the best he can
Soviet Union man
He runs with a sickle in his hand
Crimea trips on the holidays
The government's gift to you
Waiting in line for a meal
You're just waiting on a bomb
A communist man in a soviet land
Knows nothing but labor and a gun
Trying to gather up the pay
Before the market will be gone
Soviet Union man
He tries to make the best he can
Soviet Union man
He runs with a sickle in his hand
He came back many of times before
He saw the statues fall
Fighting for all to be had
Was it worth it at all?
Then he left off to fly away
Unto a distant land
Into another time
To stay a working-class man
Soviet Union man
He tries to make the best he can
Soviet Union man
He runs with a sickle in his hand
