rudolf abramov – lazy soldier lyrics
on a monday, i was arrested
taken from the emptiness of the weekend
the jailers, white shirt and black trousers, freedom on their necks
led me through security doors into monday morning
they garbed it up so well
furnished lobby, this is how we relax
corporate decor, this is what we call art
tv screens, show me the good we do, show me the life we better
show me our customers, show me their smiles
show me what this fine institution means
show me our values, show me the big bossman
where he came from, how he is
i’ll stand and wait to see him
on a tuesday, they locked me in the jail
routine, oh lord, save me from this routine
my unconscious is numbed
how long can it last? how long before it departs?
what’s this labour even mean?
bossman, are you happy? look at the eyes of that poor girl
was there once a twinkle? did you take it away?
how many years, bossman, before she dissolved into this? you’re culpable
how could she perform the tasks you hold so dear if she were fully aware?
this indoctrination must stop, this institutionalisation
must she accept the sh+t she has to do, it’s her day, and yours, and mine
i got stripes, stripes around my shoulder
i got chains, chains around my feet
i got stripes, stripes around my shoulder
i got chains, chains around my feet
on a wednesday, my trial was attested
soothe the surroundings with this guesswork, soothe me with your logic
walk down the third step, i feel not the daggers at my feet
we come as you request, what can we do for you?
we have so much more to give
look at what you’re doing for me, look at the man i am
this fine institution, everything we stand for
on a thursday, they said “guilty” and the judge’s gavel fell
life behind bars, dead man walking
end of the line, end of the road
life behind bars, dead man walking
the sentence handed down
life behind bars, dead man walking
i got stripes, stripes around my shoulder
i got chains, chains around my feet
i got stripes, stripes around my shoulder
i got chains, chains around my feet
i got stripes, stripes around my shoulder
