lyrics

Kostya got a gun
Oh he doesn’t show it to just anyone
And I know the war will soon be won
'Cos Kostya got a gun

Kostya got a gun
We shot some frogs lying in the sun and I
Cut my ankle as I tried to run
Kostya got a gun

In the distance I can hear
Barking dogs upon the air
Thunder moving ever near
In the river where I swim
I wash the dirt from off my skin
The soil my mother lies within

Kostya got a gun
And soon he says my turn will come
Then I won’t hide from anyone
Kostya got a gun
