Lyrics[]
[Verse 1]
Uniforms and desperation
Sprinting through my mind
Who could have this sweet old country?
Beautiful and kind
Someone crying tears like rain
Others want to kill
There are also those who die for
Being old and ill
[Verse 2]
Not enough to live your life for
Soldiers push and shove
Demagogues are sent directly
From Russia, with love
Those who pray and those who wish
Those who still believe
You may have to fight like [?]
The whole country you should lead
[Chorus]
You may have to fight like [?]
The whole country you should lead
You may havе to fight like [?]
The whole country you should lеad
[Outro]
