There's a lot in this song that points to it, at least overtly, being about the Bolsheik (sp?) Revolution in Russia. The CCCP is cyrillic for what we call the USSR in English. And there is a mention of a Czarina, which is a wife to a Czar. At the time the Czarina would have been Alexandra Fyodorovna. But, this might only be a literal translation. The mention of Kafka, a German novelist who was quite anti-bearucratic and Antole, a French poet who has been quoted as saying "If fifty million people say a foolish thing, it is still a foolish thing," both throw me off a little bit.
