The Iron Curtain Falls

We used to rule the universe
Think we're bad, we thought the Tsar’s much worse
In '61 the Soviets split Berlin
Built a wall to keep you out, and their people locked in

In 1917 we fought the Tsar
The Empire strikes back, but can't beat our star
Our comradeship said all men are equal
Except when it’s more equal in our Tsar wars sequel

Back in the day for the workers we'd fight
Against the capitalist para-parasites
But unlike China, who still have their wall
This was a wall that was doomed to fall

Country after country they'd had enough
To the Soviet Union, they said get stuffed
Like Wizard of Oz, they thought leaders ruthless
Pulled back Iron Curtain so leaders toothless

By 1989 the masses revolting
Hey Joe, remind you of anything?
Want revolution, now in Berlin you got one
Turns out Tsar not the only problem

Weren't trying to build an empire, but hey
Just seemed to kind of end up that way
Back then our people told the Tsars to go
Only this time we were the hated foe

The people gave that Berlin Wall some welly
First revolution to be watched on telly
Hated state cops were called the Stasi
Now so scared, locked themselves in the khazi

Country after country they'd had enough
To the Soviet Union, they said get stuffed
Like Wizard of Oz, they thought leaders ruthless
Pulled back Iron Curtain so leaders toothless

Berlin reunited without firing a shot
The locals got rid of our Communist thought
Our hopes and dreams took a turn for the worse
And we no longer rule the universe
