I'm sorry about the simple words I used
I'm sorry if my accent made you confused
I'm sorry if you doubt my true intentions
And if my music bores you
For lack of invention
I'm sorry but I tried
To put my blood and soul in it
I tried to put my worlds and dreams in it
I tried to master the art
Of opening my heart
It seemed like a pretty good start
But I'm still just a kid from the Eastern bloc
Politics have changed but economy's stuck
Still just a kid too naïve to see
That losing hope might be the best for me
We're just the kids from the Eastern bloc
Politics have changed but economy's stuck
Still just the kids from the Eastern bloc
The old regime is dead
Go tell the New York Stock Exchange
The world is about to change
Someday
We're just the kids from the Eastern bloc
Politics have changed but economy's stuck
Still just the kids from the Eastern bloc
The old regime is dead
Go tell the New York Stock Exchange
We're just the kids from the Eastern bloc
Politics have changed but economy's stuck
Thirty years behind
Thirty years behind
We're just the kids from the Eastern bloc
Politics have changed but politicians not
We're just the kids and only time will prove
How much is lost
How an ear stole our parents' youth
We're just the kids from the Eastern bloc
Politics have changed but economy's stuck
Still just the kids from the Eastern bloc
The old regime is dead
Go tell the New York Stock Exchange
The world is about to change
Someday
