Putin’s got a mighty reach. Once KGB,
and that group is his birthright.
He sure is not a fan of democracy—
neighbors face a dreadful plight,
like back to the USSR.
In freedom they had come so far. But:
back to the USSR, da!

It’s been gone so long, but picking up’s the pace
of bringing the strays back home.
What’s happening might be called a new arms race…
lands left too long on their own.
Time again for USSR,
one that’s run by a neo-Tsar, da!
Back to the US, backed by the US?
Back to the USSR.

Well, the Ukraine’s scourge had become a rout—
sep’ratists far from kind.
’cause Moscow’s urge is clear—there’s no doubt.
And Georgia ain’t the only country that’s frequently on his mind.

[Russian National Anthem interlude]

It’s back to the USSR;
yeah, it’ll be the neo-Tsar’s joy:
back to the USSR.

Well, the Ukraine’s scourge might be bigger rout
if West leaves Uke’s behind.
’cause Moscow’s urge is clear—there’s no doubt.
That Georgia thing back in 2008 was relatively kind.

Opened up with Georgia wreaking way down south,
then northward headed the harm.
Friends in the Baltics, they like us. But there’s doubt,
there we’ll be when “comrades” storm—
then back to the USSR.
They could be unlucky and not enjoy
slack from the USSR.

“Da, baby, it’s comin’ back!”
