Lyrics in Russian: https://ivim.substack.com/p/non-a-la-guerre-song-and-video-premiere

"Non à La Guerre!"

Chorus:
Non à la guerre - Non à la guerre!
Oui à la paix - Oui à la paix!
Think for yourself - Think for yourself!
Non à la guerre - Non à la guerre!

Can you hear a firing gun?
Can you see the blood of an innocent child?
Who told you that you have to do that?
And why do you believe whatever they said?

They can justify whatever they do,
For they are masters of weasel words.
They've been trained to do just that.
But why you believe everything that they said?

Chorus.

Seeding hatred from big screens
Finding an enemy to spit on
With Big Brother shown every day
Telling you what to do and to say

Are you so completely brainwashed
Watching nothing but TV shows?
Doesn't it remind you of anything?
Or are you not able to see and to think?

Chorus.

Isn't it nice to sit at home
To watch a show and vote "to bomb"
Then finish your burger and watch them die
And then to listen many reasons why?

There's no such a thing as a justified war -
Every war is driven by the same thing:
Money, power and ambitions
Of oligarchs and politicians!

Chorus.

Look at those monsters in bulletproof jackets
Aiming guns into armless people
So self-content, well-paid and proud
For knowing nothing but how to fire and shout!

They are the heroes of national papers
The best investment of the administration
Being so eager to pull the trigger
Being so proud not to have any doubt!

Chorus.

Non à la guerre!
