If The Russians Had Won The Cold War


If the Russians had won the cold war
There’d be peace throughout the land
There would be no austerity
Just a glorious five year plan
All the bankers would be miners
And profits/prophets would be banned
If the Russians had won
If the Russians had won

In the ministry of Industry
You might cast a glance at me
And I might be looking your way
There’s just a chance our eyes would meet
The red flag would fly above us
There’d be the sound of marching feet
If the Russians had won
If the Russians had won

We’d gather in the market square
Men and women, girls and boys
From speakers tied to lamp posts
We’d hear the leader’s voice
Telling of great victories
And we’d all damned well rejoice
If the Russians had won
If the Russians had won

If the Russians had won the cold war
I’d have asked you to marry me
We’d honeymoon in a cold grey room
In a hotel by the sea
And one day I’d tell our children
About the way it used to be
Before the Russians won
If the Russians had won
If the Russians had won
