Music: Bucky's Fatal Mistake, Chris Jones, Charlie Steinman
Lyrics: Charlie Steinman

lyrics

The revolution is strong
And the days are long
Now that the czar is gone a-running

A new age is dawning
And the red army's coming
And the bourgeoisie they are gunning

And at the head of it all is Comrade Leon
From Elizavethgrad up and coming

Oh yeah he's charging them on
Through Siberia's throngs
He's gonna show em who's got the money

Ran right out of the worker's paradise
Hunted down in a game of cat and mice
Took an ice pick to the eye
And he went to the great big people's republic in the sky

Now the days have gone by
And now the tensions are high
Since Comrade Lenin's pushing up daisies

Two angry pigs in the sty
One's gonna live and one dies
It looks like things are gonna get crazy

Oh look now see Trotsky fly
Back to Siberian skies
Now the future's looking quite hazy

Well it's a different time
Now Trotsky flees for his life
Comrades this isn't the time to get lazy.

Ran right out of the worker's paradise
Hunted down in a game of cat and mice
Took an ice pick to the eye
And he went to the great big people's republic in the sky

Ran right out of the worker's paradise
Hunted down in a game of cat and mice
Took an ice pick to the eye
And he went to the great big people's republic in the sky
