Defying Gorbachev

Anatoly, don't be disappointed just because won by default.
You must be happy.
You must be happy now.
You must be happy how you trounced his game forever.
You're more than simply clever.

You must be happy.
You must be happy too.
I hope you never grovel in submission to feed his weak ambition.

Don't be modest, stand up and take a bow.
I hope you're happy right now.

Listen to me; you have to go back.
We cannot avoid this feeling,
nor can we act on at all.
We must part and forget each other.

No!
Try other side of the Wall.
Loyalties have switched within me.
My side is not the same.
I'm through with dodging round the rules of my own game.
Too late for turning back now.
Too late not to believe.
It's time trust my instincts, turn away ...and leave.

It's time to try defying Gorbachev.
I think I'll try defying Gorbachev
and he can't pull me down.

I don't think you understand;
you're throwing your whole world away now.

I'm through curbing ambition
cause Lenin says I must.
Some things I cannot change,
but from now on it's win or bust!
Too long I've been afraid of finding love I thought I'd lost
but you, my love, I'll stay with you regardless of the cost.
We don't we try defying Gorbachev?
Bid lies goodbye, defying Gorbachev,
and never be brought down.

Florence, I'm coming with you. Think of a fresh start… together.

Unlimited.
Our future is unlimited.
Together we'll be the greatest team there's ever been,
Florence.
Lives the way we dreamed em.

The way we over-dreamed them.

There's no game You cannot win.
Just You and I defying Gorbachev.
With You and I defying Gorbachev
no one can bring us down.

Well?

I hope you're happy, now that you're choosing me.

Aren't you?
Oh Florence, can't you see?

You're all I've ever wanted.
By you, my dreams are haunted.
I hope you see that I love you.
Without you, I don't know what I'd do

So if care they to find us,
look to the Western side.
As someone told me lately,
"nobody deserves need to hide."
And if I'm starting over,
at least I'm starting free.
To those who stop me
take a message back from me.
Tell them how I am Defying Gorbachev.
We're flying high defying Gorbachev,
and soon I'll capture world renown.

And nobody, not one of us,
no leader that there is or was
is ever gonna bring me DOWN!

I hope you're happy.

Look he's leaving. GET HIM!

BRING ME DOWN!

No one loves a traitor so we have to bring him…

AHHHH!

DOWN!
