lyrics

and tonight i cry for the russia
of bolshoi and tarkovsky
motherland of chekhov and tolstoy
i cry for the russian soldiers
who defeated hitler and napoleon
who now betray the motherland
bringing on their own destruction
tonight i cry for the dancers,
the actors, the musicians,
choreograhers and composers.,
the people who have endured


i do not cry for vladimir
who would impale all europe
i cry for the russians
the russians who will stand up
against vladimir the killer
against vladimir the pestilence
against vladimir the famine
who visits death on his own people
and those of other lands

tonight i cry for Shostikovitch
Tchaikovsky, Rimsky-Korsakov.
Pasternak and Pushkin
Barishnakov and Nijinski
nakarova and pavlova
i cry for uncle vanya and anna karinina
and every lovelorn lover
for prince bolkovsky and his daughter
koncholovsky and his brother
today i pray for those afraid
to act in rage and sorrow

it is every russian's duty
to destroy this man of sin
and make sure the bitch that bore him
never comes into heat again
