The Lyrics
This one is about the Kotlas Gulag- click the link at the bottom for story...
They put me in a zoo
labor camp time
Enemy of the State, nothing’ I could do
Commies lyin’
Living dead cryin’
The filthy mob can’t stand it
Disease spreadin’ around
Bread and bad soup diet
Straw mattress to bed down
They put me in a zoo
labor camp time
Unspecified time
Gulag is cruel
Gulag is cruel
Gulag is cruel
I gotta escape somehow
But I don’t dare
Red guards and guns everywhere
Gonna be worked to death anyhow
No one can hear me
They put me in a zoo
labor camp time
(behind barbed wire, no mercy)
labor camp time
Enemy of the State, nothing’ I could do
Commies lyin’
Living dead cryin’
The filthy mob can’t stand it
Disease spreadin’ around
Bread and bad soup diet
Straw mattress to bed down
They put me in a zoo
labor camp time
Unspecified time
Gulag is cruel
Gulag is cruel
Gulag is cruel
I gotta escape somehow
But I don’t dare
Red guards and guns everywhere
Gonna be worked to death anyhow
No one can hear me
They put me in a zoo
labor camp time
(behind barbed wire, no mercy)

Hmmm..... Wasn't too familiar with the term "Gulag" until I looked it up, but still am a little unclear, but I still understand the parody well. 555! :-)
