SPECTRES - Cold War Lyrics

The revolution looked so clean
Through the filters on your tv screen
It's easy to believe it's right
When you're young, rich and white

Lenin's work so easily done
Those who questioned put to the gun
Is this the way that it must be
Workers enslaved while the bourgeoisie are free

The last cries of a crumbling regime
Built on the people's dreams
Screams still echo in the red square
The stench of slaughter still clings to the air

You speak of freedom, party slogans on the wall
But are you really ready, will you heed the dead man's call

Fool's dreams in a little red book
Seen it before and can't bare to look
Millions dead, thousands enslaved
Digging the pit of the workers grave

It's a trick they've played my friends
The lies of those in power never end
The kremlin was never filled with reds
But the ghosts of businessmen
