I defected in '82, and I came to New York City
Straight out of Moscow and the summers on the Ukraine.
They told me I was here for freedom, to live the American dream.
But all I've seen are pimps and hucksters and cops and game show queens

I'm going back to Russia, back to Russia, back to where I once came from.
I'm going back to Russia, back to Russia, I know that's where I belong

I'd like to say what's on my mind. I've been to lots of demonstrations,
But there's too many choices here, too many complications.
You know the party always warns us about the poverty and crime
I didn't believe a single word they said until I read the New York Times.

Now I'm going back to Russia, back to Russia, back to where I once came from
I'm going back to Russia, back to Russia, I know that's where I belong
I'm going back to Russia, back to Russia, back to where I once came from
I'm going back to Russia, back to Russia, I know that's where I belong

It's not that I don't like your country, I like the movies and the cars.
Got a dozen pairs of blue jeans, I got myself a VCR.
There are no lineups at your grocery store, nobody wants to ban your books
Everybody just prowls the streets with those lean and hungry looks.

Oh, I'm going back to Russia, back to Russia, back to where I once came from
I'm going back to Russia, back to Russia, I know that's where I belong
