[Verse 1]
Happy freshman in 1991
I got blue Walkman to have a lot of fun
With little money and food at no cost
I saw my country vanish like a ghost
[Chorus 1]
I used to think about being lucky
Born and raised in the USSR
I made a wish at a graduation party
Go around the world and touch the stars
[Post-Chorus 1]
Mmm…mmm
Born and raised in the USSR
Mmm…mmm
Go around the world and touch the stars
[Verse 2]
Hundred news in a big screen phone
Pink sweatshirt, laptop, and work from home
Boston for the weekend, Cancun for Christmas
I built my new life on the East Coast
[Chorus 2]
I used to think about being lucky
Born and raised in the USSR
30 years later it’s a bloody fighting
For the right to live as who you are
[Post-Chorus 2]
Mmm…mmm
Born and raised in the USSR
Mmm…mmm
For the right to live as who you are
[Bridge]
And I can hardly believe that my fake empire
Disappeared again and it burned like fire
I wish to dry all these tears
For people in dire need
Many sleepless nights I pray for peace
I pray for peace
[Chorus 3]
I used to think about being lucky
Born and raised in the USSR
I keep the old, blue Walkman to remind me
Go around the world and touch the stars
[Outro]
Mmm…mmm
Born and raised in the USSR
Mmm…mmm
Go around the world and touch the stars
