LYRICS:

We used to rule the Universe

Think we’re bad? We thought the Tsars much worse.

In '61 the Soviets split Berlin

Built a wall to keep you out - and their people locked in.

In 1917 we fought the Tsar

The empire strikes back but can’t beat our star.

Our comradeship said all men are equal

Except when its more equal in our Tsar Wars sequel.

Back in the day, for the workers we fight

Against the Capitalists but I’m outta sight.

But unlike China who still have a wall

This was a wall that was doomed to fall.

Country after country they’ve had enough

To the Soviet Union they said, ‘get stuffed’.

Like Wizard of Oz they don’t lead us ruthless

Pulled back Iron Curtain to leave us toothless.

By 1989 the masses revolted.

(Hey, Joe! Remind you of anything?)

Want revolution? Now in Berlin you got one

Turns out Tsar not the only problem.

Weren’t trying to build an empire, but, hey

Just seemed to kind of end up that way.

Back then our people told the Tsars to go

Only this time we were the hated foe.

The people gave the Berlin wall some welly

First revolution to be watched on telly.

Hated state cops were called the Stasi

Now so scared, locked themselves in the khazi.

Country after country they’ve had enough

To the Soviet Union they said, ‘get stuffed’.

Like Wizard of Oz they don’t lead us ruthless

Pulled back Iron Curtain to leave us toothless.

Berlin re-united without firing a shot

The locals got rid of our Communist bomb.

Our hopes and dreams took a turn for the worst

And we no longer rule the Universe.
