GPU When I was a lad in nineteen six I joined a band of Bolsheviks I read the Manifesto and the Kapital And I even learned to sing the Internationale I sang that song in a voice so true That now I'm in the prisons of the GPU . When Lenin's boys insurrection made I found myself on a barricade At Kerensky's troops I aimed my gun And I never stopped shooting 'till the Reds had won. I shot that gun with an aim so true etc. When NEP was started and Lenin died I found myself on Trotsky's side Well, all went well 'till twenty-eight And then I was forced to capitulate. Well, my capitulation had a ring so true, etc. Now, since that time I've had no peace My steps have been dogged by the Secret Police. I denounced the traitors, time and again I denounced the traitors with tongue and pen. And my denunciations had a ring so true, etc. Now revisionists all, wherever you may be If you want to be a success, like me --- Confess to terrorism and espionage To Counterrevolution and sabotage. Adhere to the line of Lenin, too And you'll wind up in the prisons of the GPU. from Glazer Ballads for Sectarians @Russia @rebel tune of Gilbert and Sullivan "When I was a Lad" filename[ GAYPAYU RG ===DOCUMENT BOUNDARY===
