Gogol Bordello, Through The Roof 'n' Underground

1 comment:

  1. When there's a trap set up for you
    In every corner of this town
    And so you learn the only way to go is underground
    When there's a trap set up for you
    In every corner of your room
    And so you learn the only way to go is through the roof

    Ooohoohoooh through the roof, underground
    Ooohoohoooh through the roof, underground

    And as we're crossing border after border
    We realize that difference is none
    It's underdogs who, and if you want it
    You always have to make your own fun

    And as the upperdog leisurely sighing
    The local cultures are dying and dying
    The programmed robots are buying and buying
    And all secluded freaks they are still trying trying

    Ooohoohoooh through the roof, underground
    Ooohoohoooh through the roof, and underground

    And as the boy scouts learn to read between the lines
    The silver rabbits hop between their fathers' lies
    And boy scouts ask "Where? Where do they go?"
    They go to the country that they only know

    Just like their meanings they lay between the lines
    Between the borders their real countries hide
    The strategigo's saw their advertise
    Their strategy of being is one of in-your-face disguise

    Ooohoohoooh through the roof, underground
    Ooohoohoooh through the roof, underground!

    And when their own walls they will a-crumble,
    And all the systems will be discumbumbled,
    Around the stump of bigotry, our own
    Serebryanye zayazhy vodyat horovod! [Russian]

    Ooohoohoooh through the roof, underground
    Ooohoohoooh through the roof, and underground
    Ooohoohoooh through the roof, underground
    Ooohoohoooh through the roof! Underground!

    Serebryanye zayazy vodyat horovod! [Russian]

    Through the roof! And underground!
    Through the roof! Underground!
