[00:05.03]Leningrad -- Billy Joel
[00:06.34]Viktor was born in the spring of '44
[00:26.05]And never saw his father anymore
[00:32.85]A child of sacrifice a child of war
[00:40.03]Another son who never had a father after Leningrad
[00:47.83]Went off to school and learned to serve the state
[00:54.45]Followed the rules and drank his vodka straight
[01:01.37]The only way to live was drown the hate
[01:07.55]A Russian life was very sad and such was life in Leningrad
[01:15.6]I was born in '49
[01:21.9]A cold war kid in McCarthy time
[01:25.58]Stop 'em at the 38th Parallel
[01:28.64]Blast those yellow reds to hell
[01:32.39]And cold war kids were hard to kill
[01:36.130005]Under their desk in an air raid drill
[01:39.56]Haven't they heard we won the war
[01:42.869995]What do they keep on fighting for
[01:46.05]Viktor was sent to some Red Army town
[01:55.07]Served out his time became a circus clown
[02:02.37]The greatest happiness he'd ever found
[02:08.17]Was making Russian children glad and children lived in Leningrad
[02:16.72]But children lived in Levittown
[02:22.59]And hid in the shelters underground
[02:25.83]Until the Soviets turned their ships around
[02:29.45]Tore the Cuban missiles down
[02:32.63]And in that bright October sun
[02:36.13]We knew our childhood days were done
[02:39.93]And I watched my friends go off to war
[02:43.62]What do they keep on fighting for
[02:46.68]So my child and I came to this place
[02:55.91]To meet him eye to eye and face to face
[03:02.9]He made my daughter laugh then we embraced
[03:08.7]We never knew what friends we had until we came to Leningrad
