Lyrics:
If you're a good citizen, if you're the President there's the Law and there are some restrictions that apply to you: You may not steal nation's money, and you should not ever lie to your people Be open to the public, be accountable for what you say
Had 8 years as a President, but now you're a candidate again! Now look into our eyes, and drop your nomination now! We trusted you, but you lied to us for so many years, using your old KGB tactics
[CHORUS]
You are just like me - a man, not a God I am just like you - a man, not some low-life We won't allow any more lying to us We won't allow any more stealing from us We are Freedom's Airborne troops, Motherland is behind us
You are just a typical state official - not a Czar, not a God! This country's Good Citizens are evil "bandar-logs" in your own eyes White colour of pro-freedom ribbons is everyone's pride here But to you it only reminds of some 'condoms' **
I look around and see your portraits everywhere You keep lying to us, and your henchmen also do We are tired of witnessing our nation's shame: Next to poor countryside there are your princely castles
You've weakened our national defence, ruined the Army Forgotten about the soldiers, dismissed the officers We won't forget everything that you've done We demand peacefully: Down with the Tyrant!
[CHORUS]
Remember our grandfathers, who battled the 'SS', remember our brave Airborne Guardsmen Battles of Berlin and Afghanistan are still in our hearts But for the ruling Party officials there are no other values, except money
In them honour is so scarce, as there is not much human dignity in them, it's only bullion's splendour that appeals to them Their luxury cars, fancy clothes, obsession with consumptionism Such is your corrupt System's cynicism!
Nation's culture is in decline, so is education, and there's even trading of college diplomas Bribery permeats everything, an old man here can't get his medical care Now your corrupt System has arrived to it's dead end
[CHORUS]
**in his TV speech addressing the nation Putin has mocked Russian pro-democracy protesters wearing White Ribbon as Rudyard Kipling's "scores of bandar-logs who have attached some pathetic white condoms to their wardrobe"

Yuri Shevchuk (lead singer of DDT) might be the only guy who has ever gone toe-to-toe against Putin to his face.
