ЕЩË НЕ ПОЗДНО /n
(Авторы Песни: Леонид Фёдоров (песнь), Дмитрий Озерский (слова)) /n
Ещё не поздно,
День уже прожит,
Войди, прохожий,
Я тебе верю.
Сдирая кожу, входит луна
В узкие двери.
Что-то поет чей-то голос,
Бьется в стекло,
Тонет в стекле.
Разорвалось, раскололось...
Кто-то зовет меня. /n /n
Ещё не поздно,
Нас уже двое,
За дверью воет, мы ещё целы.
Над полем боя светит луна,
Скучно быть смелым.
Что-то поет чей-то голос,
Бьется в стекло,
Тонет в стекле.
Разорвалось, раскололось...
Кто-то зовёт меня.

IT’S NOT TOO LATE /n
(Songwriters: Leonid Fedorov (song), Dmitriy Ozerskiy (lyrics)) /n
It’s not too late though
The day is all lived through.
Enter, oh, stranger,
Sure I believe you.
Peeling its flesh, the moon comes through
The narrow doorway.
Singing away, someone’s voice, it
Beats at the glass,
Drowns in the glass.
Something got torn, split through corners…
Someone calls out for me. /n /n
It’s not too late, for
We’ve become two now.
We’re still intact, outside there’s howling.
Over the war field shimmers the moon,
Courage is boring.
Singing away, someone’s voice, it
Beats at the glass,
Drowns in the glass.
Something got torn, split through corners…
Someone calls out for me.

Not too Late /n
Leonid Fedorov (music), Dmitry Ozersky (lyrics))
It's not too late,
The day is already over,
Come in, passerby,
I believe you.
Peeling off the skin, the moon enters
Through the narrow door.
Someone's voice sings something,
Beats against the glass,
Drowns in the glass.
It bursts, it shatters...
Someone is calling me.
It's not too late,
There are already two of us,
Behind the door, it howls, we are still intact.
The moon shines over the battlefield,
It's boring to be brave.
Someone's voice sings something,
Beats against the glass,
Sinks into the glass.
It burst, it split...
Someone is calling me.

Как деньги, когда их считают, /n
Как шёлковые чулки, /n
Как книжки, когда их листают, – /n
Короче, шуршит, чуваки. /n /n
Гравий шуршит потому что /n
Чует пиздёныш беду – /n
Знает, что город в опасности, /n

Вставай, Володя-чудило! /n
Вставай, Володя, пойдём!» /n /n

Я лежал в мавзолее тюленем, /n
Я дремал, как угеренный сыч. /n /n Я спрятал себя по Холмсу: /n
Положил у всех на виду. /n
Были бы вы умнее мопсов – /n
Вы б раскусили всю хуету. /n /n
А вы думали, что я мёртвый? /n
Какое же вы всё ж мудачьё! /n
Я наебнул Россию, я ж тёртый, /n

(Title:) LENIN /n
(Songwriters: Krovostok (*band)) /n
Turns out God was one mark-ass dummy /n
Just a fancied-out wee marky toast /n
Now, where shadows are sliding on gravel /n
By the breeze every shadow throbs. /n /n
And these shadows get throbbing twistered /n
Over gravel which scrapes with unease /n
Like a Messerschmitt plane in the distance /n
From Esenin’s gold curls like fleas /n /n
Or like cash when it's being counted /n
Or like silken tights with a swirl, /n
Or like books when somebody leafs them, /n
In short, it just scrapes, y’all. /n /n
And the cause of this scraping gravel /n
Is some cunt who disaster sniffed /n
Knowing well that the city’s in danger /n
Because I make my way in it. /n /n
Because I’m not supposed to walk here, /n
But instead somewhere else must chill. /n
Because thus it was fucking ordered, /n
Or else things would go mean uphill. /n /n
Since I’m, fuck it, Vladimir Lenin /n
I am Lenin Vladimir Ilyich /n
And I have emerged from the shadow, /n
Like on Easter a sweet kulich. /n /n
For something had stirred me woken /n
Imploring: “Get up and glow! /n
Volodya, you weirdo, good morning! /n
Volodya, up quick, let's go!” /n /n
And ya'll know already what follows /n
From the news-streams & other shows /n
Unless at a clinic for hiccups /n
Or burned to the dust of bones. /n /n
After all, I’m Vladimir Lenin, /n
Yeah, no shit, I’m Vladimir Ilyich, /n
Long I lounged like a seal mausoleumed, /n
Like a junkie owl dreamed, not screeched. /n /n I had stashed my own self after Sherlock /n
In plain view of you all gotten tucked /n
Anyone could’ve cracked through my bullshit /n
Were they half as smart as a pug /n /n
Or did you all think I had perished? /n
But truly, what douchebags you are! /n
I got laid by all of Russia, a lifer, /n
In ambush for the new bourgeois. /n /n
And then I stepped out, arising, /n
Grew two-hundred-plus times in size, /n
And my body became as fires, /n
And lasers shot from my eyes. /n /n
So I fucked up that whole shit army /n
By a merchant-reeked Moscow squeezed /n
Executions, capitulations /n
And the Kremlin once more was seized. /n /n
I’ve returned, and I bring great corrections, /n
Communism labour-free – the new line, /n

Lenin /n
Krovostok /n
God turned out to be a fool,
A pompous fool.
And shadows glide across the gravel,
Swayed by the breeze. /n /n
The breeze stirs those shadows,
The gravel rustles anxiously,
Like lice in Yesenin's hair,
Like a Messerschmitt in the distance. /n /n
Like money when it's being counted,
Like silk stockings,
Like books when they're being leafed through —
In short, it rustles, dudes. /n /n
The gravel rustles because
It senses trouble, you fuckers –
It knows the city is in danger,
Since I'm walking through it. /n /n
I'm not supposed to walk here,
I'm not supposed to lie here –
That's how it's supposed to be, fuck,
Otherwise, it won't work out. /n /n
I'm fucking Vladimir Lenin
I'm Lenin Vladimir Ilyich
And now I've emerged from the shadows,
Just like Easter cake. /n /n
Something woke me up
Something said: "Get up!
Get up, Volodya the weirdo!
Get up, Volodya, let's go!" /n /n
And then you know what happened
From streams and news reports—
Either you're hiccuping in the hospital,
Or you're ashes and bones. /n /n
I'm Vladimir Lenin, fuck you,
I'm Vladimir Ilyich Lenin.
I was lying in the mausoleum like a seal,
I was dozing like a sleepy owl. /n /n I hid myself like Holmes:
I put myself in plain sight.
If you were smarter than pugs,
You would have figured out the whole fucking thing. /n /n
And you thought I was dead?
What a bunch of assholes you are!
I fucked Russia, I'm a veteran,
I lay there and waited for the fistfight. /n /n
And then I got up, and I went out,
And I grew two hundred times bigger,
And my body became a flame,
And lasers shot from my eyes. /n /n
I fucked up their fucking army
In merchant-fucking Moscow.
Surrender, executions,
And my reign in the Kremlin. /n /n
I returned, returned to rule
The goal is communism without labor
Labor is bullshit, labor must be abolished
Robots work, and sometimes I do. /n /n
I'm not fucking Vladimir Lenin —
I'm the biggest Russian freak.
And that's not a metaphor from laziness,
I'm literally more alive than anyone else. /n /n
I made two revolutions
In my long life.
Both unexpected, like wet dreams
And both sudden, like a rooster crowing /n /n
Your God turned out to be a sucker
A pompous sucker
And I am Vladimir Ulyanov-Lenin
I am the one who washes with boiling water...
