Electric Yerevan lyrics

Mismanaged foreign monopolistic utility firms

Should always be made public before we all burn

For the cost of heating we take another beating

Our wills are now seething, when will we all learn?

Civic societies are burgeoning in the world

We don't want to be the bitch of any superpowers

Color revolutions fade, we want cheap power

Electric, electric, electric, electric Yerevan

We say no to corruption and no to plunder

Billionaire playgrounds are going under

Electric, electric, electric, electric Yerevan

Brutal police crackdowns with water cannons

Serve to irrigate the seeds of discontent and malcontent

Civil disobedience working like a charm

We don't want to be the bitch of any superpowers

Color revolutions fade, we want cheap power

Electric, electric, electric, electric Yerevan

We say no to corruption and no to plunder

Billionaire playgrounds are going under

Electric, electric, electric, electric Yerevan

It seems like the brutal police crackdown with water cannons

And beating up people including journalists

Has predictably brought more people out into the streets of Yerevan today

This was a peaceful sit in, the police had the right to clear it

And legally detain people without using undue force

This situation should not be politicized by foreign media or governments

This is a non-political reaction to an endemic economic marginalization of a large segment of the Armenian populace

The government of Armenia should make every effort to ameliorate the economic suffering of its citizens

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey

Hey, hey, hey, hey

We don't want to be the bitch of any superpowers

Color revolutions fade, we want cheap power

Electric, electric, electric, electric Yerevan

We say no to corruption and no to plunder

Billionaire playgrounds are going under

Electric, electric, electric, electric Yerevan

Mismanaged foreign monopolistic utility firms

Should always be made public before we all burn

For the cost of heating we take another beating
