From the center of northeast Durham
To the islands of Tiananmen Square
I can hear them all screaming for me
Who'd have thought so many peasants cared?

You don’t have to just believe me
The gulag is getting warm
With all of my thoughts behind me
I... I...

Upon the high street of satisfaction
And brought me pornographic teddy bears
All the girls they are screaming for me
And I ain't even had it up for years

You don't have to just believe me
The gulag is getting warm
With all of my thoughts behind me
I... I...

You don’t have to just believe me
The gulag is getting warm
With all of my thoughts behind me
My conscience, it begins to thaw
I... I... I...
