about

Tõnis Vint is an Estonian artist. This song was inspired by a painting of his. It was also inspired by the countless dissident artists who went through so much trouble trying to get their works exhibited without running afoul of the law during the days of the Soviet Union.

lyrics

Tõnis, you've got everything to lose
There's a girl in a circle and she's ready for you
All the boys in the Communist League don't know what to do

Don't be natural, don't have heart
'Cause you know at any moment it could all fall apart
When the pertinent secrets of a life are told in scars

No, you can't be perfect
No, you can't be true
You'll do what you're told

Look both ways before you cross the road
Shuffle discreetly towards an apartment show
A temporary escape from a world full of ghosts

Where are you going? Where are you coming from?
Did you know, at the moment there, is nowhere to run?
'Cause they're all fervent believers in coming undone

No, you can't be perfect
No, you can't be true
You'll do what you're told
