Old man in the public park
Sun has set and soon comes dark
Last bottle is empty throat is dry
No place to sleep it's cold outside
He lost his friend in a war, back in 1944
Chorus:
Once he fought for Fatherland
When Russians came he fought like a man
We owed him lots but we've betrayed
He did his part we never paid
He never got anything
From what leaders promised to him
You'll never get your share when the war is won
Now they treat him like scum
How it feels now did you win
Was it worth everything
The land's still free but they forgot
Just who to thank for we have got
