Here And There *
Sung to the tune
"Are You Lonesome Tonight"

Perestroika is lost at a horrible cost
As we head towards another cold war.
Was old Boris to blame, or is young what's his name,
Who tried to give Putin what for?

If he got more support, would he still want to thwart
What remains of glasnost and his court?
It's a shame he can claim, "Bush and I rule the same –
Tell that mimic to please to get lost."
