lyrics

throw my ID to the dogs
tear like wolves
bureaucracy
snow in moscow still in reach
stuck in the airport reading mayakovsky

and when i'm on house arrest
remember when we watched
the baader-meinhof complex
be honest is it political when we have sex?
you're my soviet passport
and when i'm in a labor camp
remember when we laughed at
paper tigers, watch them crash
america is fucking trashed
we're all just sitting back
you're my soviet passport

but i wanted to come back
to my bed filled with spiders
when you look out at the streets
are they filled with me?

when you look at me i'm filled with hopes that never were
like the liberation of the workers of the world

you are a commodity fetish i want to billy bragg about, you
i want to, i want you
