The Old Man's Back Again (Dedicated To The Neo-Stalinist Regime)

I seen a hand, I seen a vision
 It was reaching through the clouds to risk a dream
 The shadow crossed the sky
 And it crushed into the ground, just like a beast
 The old man's back again
 The old man's back again
 I seen a woman, standing in the snow
 She was silent as she watched them take her man
 Teardrops burned her cheeks
 For she thought she'd heard
 The shadow had left this land
 The old man's back again
 The old man's back again
 The crowds just gathered, their faces turned away
 And they queue all day like dragons of disgust
 Older women whispering
 Wondering just what these young hot-heads want of us
 And, "Entres vie," he cries
 With eyes that ring like chimes
 His anti-worlds go spinning through his head
 He burns them in his dreams
 For half awake, they may as well be dead
 The old man's back again
 I see he's back again
 I see a soldier, he's standin' in the rain
 For him, there's no old man to walk behind
 Devoured by his pain
 Bewildered by the faces who pass him by
 He'd like another name, the one he's got's a curse
 These people cried
 Why can't they understand
 His mother called him Ivan, then she died?
 The old man's back again
 The old man's back again
 I can see him back again
