Revolution Now. Best soviet rock song. DDT 1987

My video for this song. Text and music - Yuri Shevtchuk
English word for word translation - http://www.youtube.com/user/VSCLJ

Two fingers up is the victory sign!
And it's the sign of the horns jabbed into eyes too.
We fight to the bitter end on Tuesday for Wednesday,
But already do not understand Thursday.

This world is like we want it to be -
NO!
We believe that we can change it -
YES!
But, Revolution! You have taught us
To trust in injustice of good.
How many worlds we incinerate in an hour
For the sake of your sacred pyre?

Human flesh tastes sweet -
The Judas of blockade winters know this.
What would you like for breakfast?
Jesus again?
Eat but know - we will not forgive you!

This world is like we want it to be -
NO!
We believe that we can change it -
YES!
But, Revolution! You have taught us
To trust in injustice of good.
How many worlds we incinerate in an hour
For the sake of your sacred pyre?

Also what shall we do?
About what shall we sing about?
On whose shoulders is my head?
How many Afghanis does the death cost,
If our life is not right?

This world is like we want it to be -
NO!
We believe that we can change it -
YES!
But, Revolution! You have taught us
To trust in injustice of good.
How many worlds we incinerate in an hour
For the sake of your sacred pyre?

Song is fantastic, but English translation is just horrible. Was it done with Google translator?

Sounds is similar to that song... "It's the end of the world, as we know it."

[cplasgaunas1]

@alpointru ok, and I'm marxist, but I think this song is more a reflexion about CCCP

"But, Revolution! You have taught us

To trust in injustice of good.

How many worlds we incinerate in an hour

For the sake of your sacred pyre?"

Good Video and song anyway

[TheShamSpam]

I think they mean 'counter-revolution now'. Petty bourgeois crap.
