Dr. Zhivago - Neon Neon

When I was young I didn’t know my left from right

My parents kept me prisoner from love

And as I grew up I noticed how some lives are born

Into suffering and tragedy

Fighting for my country against fascism and cruelty

Then I saw the workers plight

Came to me in pieces, building up a thesis

Rome wasn’t built over night

Dr. Zhivago

I’m just waiting for my cold embargo

To be lifted and I’ll bathe in your success and golden light

Cold war dictator

I once believed but now I can’t accept you

How you treated Pasternak and Hungary — you upset me

1956 turned to ‘57

I was still a party animal

But not for long

There had to be a better way

To get our point across

So Justice could prevail today

Dr. Zhivago

I’m just waiting for my cold embargo

To be lifted and I’ll publish all your manuscripts tonight

Cold war dictator

I once believed but now I can’t accept you

How you treated Pasternak and Hungary — you upset me
