Lyrics Peristroika Boy - The Papers

Perestroika boy
Glasnost man
Glasnost Boy

A Russian farm lad born in '31
The soviet president, to become
A lawman with no hat or gun
Brought peace, for everyone
Said, this cold war must end
Stood up to the US missile men

Perestroika boy, we loved you then
As the wall came down our hopes ascend
With courage in both hands
More like you, we need again

The doves let free now shot and torn
The law bent to let bombs fall
In mother Russia, for hope we search
All we find, is angry worst
And from the troops of
We watch the goddess love desert

Perestroika boy, we loved you then
As the wall came down our hopes ascend
With courage in both hands
More like you, we need again

Perestroika boy, we loved you then
As the wall came down our hopes ascend
Mikhail with courage in both hands
More like you, we need again
