Текст песни Mother Russia - Lindisfarne

Lennon lies so stately
Calm's a forgotten man
Joseph played his cards wrong
'Cause he couldn't understand
History is bunkum
I heard some American said
If you can't deal with the living
You might as well be with the dead

Mother Russia
Your sons have left you crying in the rain
Your sadness tears my heart out
But it isn't easy to explain

The rat race is coming to get you
It's bony hands reach long
You might as well forget you
Ever played a different song
No Tolstoy, no Tchaikovsky
Gonna get you out of this
Just close your eyes and turn your cheek
Get ready for the Judas kiss

Mother Russia
Your sons have left you crying in the rain
Your sadness tears my heart out
But it isn't easy to explain
I walk your fields and wonder
As I softly call your name
Mama, mama, mama
Isn't it a shame?
Isn't it a shame?
Isn't it a shame?
Mother Russia
Isn't it a shame?
Mother Russia

In war your sons were taken
In peace they built a wall
Your future's now forsaken
But who'll be there to break your fall?
Who'll be there?

Mother Russia
Your sons have left you crying in the rain
Your sadness tears my heart out
Do you think it's easy to explain?
I walk your fields and wonder
As I softly call your name
Mama, mama, mama
Isn't it a shame?
Isn't it a shame?
Isn't it a shame?
Mother Russia
Isn't it a shame?
Mama, mama, mama
Mother Russia
Isn't it a shame?
Mother Russia
Mama, mama, mama, mama, mama, mama, mama, mama, mama
Mother Russia
Isn't it a shame?
Oh, isn't it a shame?
Mother Russia
Mama, mama, mama, mama, mama, mama
