[Bit 1]

They are fleeing their country as fast as they can, and every newscast is oh-so-sympathetic to these Russian wussies.
"Big Bad Mother Russia, Big Bad Mother Russia."
Come on, we like to egg 'em.

Big Bad Mother Russia, oh, so tough, so tough.
Called to mobilize trains as far as the eye can see.
Couldn't get out fast enough.
Whoopsies!
