about

My band mates loved the board war game called Risk. They would play endlessly. They loved WW2. I had little knowledge of this field..but one day they came to the session to sing about Soviet war planes. I sang the chorus with Baker..and then made up the verses about war..as best I could in the moment. Taking a Risk.

lyrics

Soviet...Soviet Megs Flying All Around
Oh they are crashing all around
Going down into the ground
Soviet Megs are Flying All Around
I can't see you...my baby was shot down
The planes they came over the hill
Soviet Meg bombers..they lay in the trenches
All the gunners may bring death with the color Red
Soviet Megs are Flying All Around
Just lies...that I will never die
Those American gunners shot them down
Soviet Soviet Megs are Flying All Around
When you go down with a gunner
Flying down, running for cover
Women sent from heaven above
Soviet Megs are Flying All Around
I said I would die for my country
But I never expected so much Air
Breathing Breathing Air
We Died.
