THE.ЯЭD.APPLE

Check the bulletin on the wall, COMЯADE
Propaganda pipes in every flat
Verse 1
Queue up at dawn for your slice of bread
Smiling soldiers drilling in your head
Big Brother wink from the morning screen
‘Loyalty first’ in the daily routine
Fetch your coupon book and salute the red
Dreaming in grayscale while they paint you fed
Irony sharp as the barbed-wire fence
Freedom’s just a state-sanctioned pretense
Pre-Chorus
(They tell us what to think)
(We nod and play along)
(Absurd devotion in every song)
Chorus
Stand tall for the banner, we all comply
Raise a hymn to the motherland so high
Ration love and the laughter, by decree
In our perfect world of irony
Verse 2
They scrapped the clocks, but kept us in line
Soviet chic on the daily design
Rewriting history in red and black
We dine on slogans and reminisce the lack
Comrade Karl got a statue downtown
We pay our taxes with a hollow crown
Saluting cans of soup like they're champagne
Modern miracles in this grand charade
Chorus / Outro
Stand tall for the banner, we all comply
Raise a hymn to the motherland so high
Ration love and the laughter, by decree
In our perfect world of irony
(In our perfect world)
(We all comply)
