Verse 1
It's (G major) crazy.
This time (G minor) last month,
(G major) I (F sharp minor) was (A minor) (G major) in Moscow.
(G minor) Can you believe that?
I was in (A minor) Moscow.
(G major) That's right,
I (G minor) did a show (F major) in Idaho. (G major) (C major) (G major)
No, I was in Moscow, Russia!
I did a (B major) show, but I (G major) also wanted
to find out
who's going to win
the next presidential election.
And I would ask, I was like, who's
going to win?
And they're like, it's a secret.
Hmm. I'm like, can
you give me a hint?
No, you'll ruin surprise.
You'll find out like everyone else.
Russia was fascinating.
Such cultural differences.
Like, the (F major) Russians, they
(G major) never smile
unless it's something really,
(A minor) really that (G major) makes them happy.
And I asked (F major) them, like,
why (G major) don't Russians smile?
And they're like, because we're miserable.
I was like, that's interesting.
I should do that.
But I went to Red Square,
(F sharp minor) which was fascinating.
(G major) There was the Kremlin
and there was St. Basil's (G major) Cathedral,
that beautiful building
with the (G major) towers that look like soft
(F sharp minor) serve ice cream. (G major)
And you know how in Times Square,
how there are people dressed
like Elmo and (A minor) Dora?
(G major) Well, in Red Square, I'm not making this up,
people are (B flat major) dressed like (G major) Russian
historical figures.
So people are walking around
like there's someone dressed like Lenin,
(A minor) and there's someone (G major) dressed like Gorbachev,
and then I saw someone
(A minor) dressed like Stalin.
(G major) I was like, wow, that's weird.
Didn't he do a couple bad things?
And I was like, that's something you'd never see in Germany,
you know?
You (F sharp minor) know, (G major) you'd never see
(F sharp minor) someone dressed like (G major) Merkel,
you know what I mean?
No, it was someone who was dressed like Stalin,
and people were paying to get their picture taken
and a lot of them were tourists
from Russia
and they're like I want my picture
with the mass murderer and it and I was asking some and I Russians
about this and they they explained that they know
Stalin was a monster
but Stalin was also a strong
Russian leader
that's that's important
a strong Russian leader
and you see it throughout their history
like the most famous czar Peter the Great
he was like he's responsible for
the Russian Empire
and started their navy,
but he also killed his own son.
And I was like, he's still great?
And the Russians are like,
parenting is difficult.
Really?
And it's common knowledge
that he tortured and killed
his own son.
like, kids can be annoying.
And maybe Peter is considered
great
compared to the (B flat major) first Russian (F major) czar,
who (G major) was Ivan the Terrible,
who sounds like a professional wrestler.
That was his name, Ivan.
Like, did he know that's
what people called him?
Was he like, hey, do I have a nick
(A minor) name?
What do people (F sharp minor) call me?
Oh, you (G major) have a nickname.
Do they call me Ivan the Great?
No, they call you Ivan the Terrible.
Do they mean that in like a positive way?
(F major) Like (E major) Ivan the Terribly Handsome, is (F major) that it?
(G major) No, they call you.
What if he was in denial about it?
He's like, what did I ever do?
What, well, you also killed your son.
Yeah, that's a big Russian thing.
But Ivan, you also,
the architects of St. Basil's Cathedral,
you blinded them.
That was a misunderstanding.
I asked them, could you ever recreate
something (G major) as beautiful as that?
And they said yes,
but I thought I heard (G major) them say,
poke my eyes out.
So is the misunderstanding.
Alright, thank you so much for coming out!
(E major)
