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