Children on the run, children on the hide

Children on the run, children on the hide 
Butcher on the front of your Communist block 
Madman beats a path to your neighbor’s back door 
Never gonna get a break to settle this score.

Shadow on a train, and a fable in their heads 
With a hero in the reign by the railway line 
Madman on a five year mission all told 
Listen to the prophet’s gonna save your souls.

Pre-chorus 
Burakov’s in the woods, carnage going down 
mother’s nightmare in this Ukraine town 
Children on the run, children on the hide 
Viktor’s misery in a chalk outline

Too proud to be wrong, too blind to be right 
Party of the people keep the madman out of sight (and out of mind) 
With his bag and his rope and the children all around. 
pledge to stop the screams in this Rostov town.

Repeat Pre-chorus

Chorus: 
Sing hey…OOO…OOO…OOO!

Madmen on the hunt, children in the ruins 
Government tumbles through a hole in a tomb 
And it’s one for the trouble, fifty-two for the sorrows 
Viktor’s misery will never live to see tomorrow.

Repeat Pre-chorus

Chorus: 
Sing hey…OOO…OOO…OOO!
