    Lyrics:
    Flew in from Miami Beach BOAC
    Didn't get to bed last night
    On the way the paper bag was on my knee
    Man i had a dreadful flight
    I'm back in the U.S.S.R.
    You don't know how lucky you are boy
    Back in the U.S.S.R.
    Been away so long I hardly knew the place
    Gee it's good to be back home
    Leave it till tomorrow to unpack my case
    Honey disconnect the phone
    I'm back in the U.S.S.R.
    You don't know how lucky you are boy
    Back in the U.S.
    Back in the U.S.
    Back in the U.S.S.R.
    Well the Ukraine girls really knock me out
    They leave the West behind
    And Moscow girls make me sing and shout
    That Georgia's always on my my my my my my my mind.
    I'm back in the U.S.S.R.
    You don't know how lucky you are boy
    Back in the U.S.S.R.
    Well the Ukraine girls really knock me out
    They leave the West behind
    And Moscow girls make me sing and shout
    That Georgia's always on my my my my my my my mind.
    Show me round your snow peaked mountains way down south
    Take me to your daddy's farm
    Let me hear your balalaika's ringing out
    Come and keep your comrade warm.
    I'm back in the U.S.S.R. hey
    You don't know how lucky you are boy
    Back in the U.S.S.R.

    Paul said he originally wrote this song to take the piss out of the Beach Boys and "Back In The USA." But the song became a monster anyway.

      Nobody of listening to this song before 90x could imagine ussr will come back (and strike back). But nobody at all could imagine that lots of people will like it coming back.

    Back in 1968, when Paul recorded this with The Beatles (He tracked all the instruments.), to see him, or any western act, in Red Square of all places, would have been literally laughable. But in 2003, he's playing there! So awesome!

    Back in the U.S...USSR. how he came up with this is incredible. Especially that the west hated Russia, Ukraine and the rest of USSR. But he didn't care about politics and sang about the people their.

      The USSR dissolved because the leaders of various countries didn’t like where Gorbachev was leading them. They decided to go their separate ways. Doubt it had anything to do with rock and roll.

    If you understand history, you would know that that Paul or the Beetles with this song were instrumental in bringing down the USSR. Sounds ridiculous but Paul is a family friend. Never met the man myself but that is the case. Were so sorry uncle Albert is a real person. and this song shows how influential art can be.

    Hi, I really love this song. Firstly it is a parody.
    And not to forget Back in the USA with the killing and poisoning of the natives in the history, its now necessary oil wars?
    Well I can't express myself very well, but I love this song. And not to forget they are brave to sing this song in the 70es.
    Due to a friend I started listening to the Beatles again.
