Snake Island
Somebody's certainly nice, but not really ready
to sit in a paddy wagon, and to whom Golgotha is not quite the Place.
The difference is in principle. It's only five words:
Russian warship, go fuck yourself.
The voice on the phone is calm, intermittent and low:
"Mom, I have a hat on, I got the documents, there's no fear."
My daughter fell asleep on the floor in the subway today.
Russian warship, go fuck yourself.
If you really mean something good for my land,
look - the soil is already plowed.
Put these sunflower seeds in your pocket, and they'll sprout.
Russian warship, go fuck yourself.
Here are the Chechen, Belarusian and Kazakh, guns and all,
Here they believe in Buddha and Cthulha, in Christ and Allah.
We will paint new frescoes on the walls of our new churches:
Russian warship, go fuck yourself.
Your empire needs both Kiev and Crimea?
Maybe I'll never see your collapse,
But rest assured, when my great-grandson meets yours
He will say: are you Russian?
Then,
Go fuck yourself.
