While the president runs a tired finger on the iPad
|
Babies of Russian mothers fall into garbage chutes
|
I count the years, bending over my shaved hair
|
Life will pass quickly, but history will not recognize me
|
Or I wanted too much, or the wrong vector
|
Chose to use forces in an attempt to be human
|
Socially active and honest. |
I was going to live not by lies
|
It was a mistake - people disappear without anyone noticing
|
Days go one after another, and then they stop
|
Alcohol, literature or the sports section will not save
|
Dreams also die, leaving a feeling of post-masturbation
|
And you are left alone with your pension, waiting for death
|
But if I could choose myself, I would be Ivan Turgenev -
|
A gentleman with a cane and a cozy gray beard
|
I would feed the flock like a brainless aquarium fish
|
With my books about love for nature and schoolgirls
|
I would be praised in the Soviet Union, "Fathers and Sons"
|
Recommended to readers in regional libraries
|
My books would be put under the TV or legs
|
Nightstand with a dusty mirror on it |
But I missed - I was born myself, I look into the reflection
|
Portrait of a well-groomed writer and I cry quietly
|
Falling asleep on the roadway, and Ivan Sergeevich Turgenev
|
Smiling in my dream when I get hit by a car in my life
|
I hear the noise of time, help, pushing with your elbows
|
Women and children according to the Turgenev system
|
To the lifeboat where quiet success or oblivion
|
And I will dissolve in the noise of time
|
I hear the noise of time, help, pushing with your elbows
|
Women and children according to the Turgenev system
|
To the lifeboat where quiet success or oblivion
|
And I will dissolve in the noise of time
|
When Khodorkovsky comes out, he will no longer have teeth
|
Hipsters will grow old and name their children after me
|
Learn posts, I'll grow a beard like Leo Tolstoy
|
The sick and the lame I will teach life to lay foundations
|
And the soul will be full of longing for a political career
|
It was necessary to start developing in this area at school
|
To be an activist, a sneak, a fag, that is, a strategist,
|
And the idiots parents told me to believe in moral principles
|
Do not try to make deals with your own conscience
|
There was no law in life that good people should be lucky |
Looking at your own hands, time has a fucking taste
|
Permanent feeling, like the hero of the story "After the Ball"
|
Lie, read good and heroic books to grandchildren
|
Teaching them to obey their hearts, that is, dooming them to eternal torment
|
To teach to love, to believe in goodness, to sympathize with animal people
|
That's how they taught me ruining my life forever
|
But all people are whores, and you didn't tell me that
|
And disappointment, like a broken record. |
shakes a gray-haired brow
|
Returning to childhood - dad, mom, I'd rather believe in evil
|
I scream and piss in my pants, the world is around me, I'm in charge here
|
Old, I see myself in a dream as a tyrant, prime minister, president
|
I humiliate officials in a seven-story country residence
|
I shove them petrodollars for the elastic of their pants
|
From these rides, one gets up for a second before death
|
I hear the noise of time, help, pushing with your elbows
|
Women and children according to the Turgenev system
|
To the lifeboat where quiet success or oblivion
|
And I will dissolve in the noise of time
|
I hear the noise of time, help, pushing with your elbows
|
Women and children according to the Turgenev system
|
To the lifeboat where quiet success or oblivion |
