World in crisis
The politicians have firmly wiped their noses.
It’s like a genie has come out of a vessel,
He turned his attention to the present.

We are afraid to see reality
And we all live for one day only.
But in business, it’s just a simple formality
Let's just not go that far

We always rely on luck,
To the countless depths of the earth.
We fly in the clouds to chase our dreams,
Somewhere far away from reality.

But where does luck come from?
After all, the village itself will not resurrect.
All Central Black Earth Region
It is overgrown with forests again, just like in the old days.

There is no simple field base,
The network of collective farms has been destroyed.
Only tired phrases hover
What is “progress” and “global scope”.

It's like we're five years ahead of schedule
Sometimes they performed it at three years old,
They rushed to Communism ahead of schedule,
But the “system” failed here too.

We are barbarically cutting down the forest
Selling abroad for next to nothing,
And back, like a product, we buy
Here is the first breach out of many.

We are like children, naive, careless
We have oil and gas at our fingertips,
But nature's reserves do not last forever
And they need a replacement now.
