Lyrics
Dear Sasha Twenty-two years You’ll spend twenty-two years Locked away in a box As you claw at the walls And you snarl at the bars And I’ll spend twenty-two years My heart a clenched fist Twelve hours a day At the sewing machine Mending dresses for change And all for what? The press vilifies us As murderous dogs Builders of nothing Fanatics and fiends And Frick? Three bullets in his body Your dagger in his thigh Dynamite in your mouth, Sasha How could he survive? But he survived Aided by the workers he oppressеs! These peoplе! I want to tell them: We did this for you! He did this for you! For freedom and justice! Now what do we get? Twenty-two years Locked away in a box Twelve hours a day At my sewing machine
