Скованные одной цепью [Skovannie Odnoy Tsepiu] [English translation]

Group punishment smears us like soot.1

I reach for someone's hand but instead get his elbow.2

I try to make eye contact, and I get a glare in return.

People's asses are higher than their heads.3

A pink sunset follows the red sunrise.4

Fastened by one chain, united by one purpose.

Fastened by one chain, united by one purpose.

The country's joints are sluggish, the distances are vast.

They've smashed all the trains to make columns.

There are kitchen-words, and there are street-words.5

Here eagles are thrown aside in favor of chickens.6

And even when I'm getting kissed, I still follow the rule:

Fastened by one chain, united by one purpose.

Fastened by one chain, united by one purpose.

You can believe, even when nobody else does.

You can do something, even when no one else will.

There are miserable wretches praying, praying

That their misery be guaranteed.

Here you can play the trumpet to yourself,

But however you play it, you always play the retreat signal.

And if there are people who come to you,

then there are also people who'll come after you.

And so:

Fastened by one chain, united by one purpose.

Fastened by one chain, united by one purpose.

Here women look for love, but find only old age.

Here they judge your work by how tired you get.

Here there are no scumbags in leather lounges.

Here the cream of society looks just like the dregs.

Perhaps they, like the dregs, are tired of being

Fastened by one chain, united by one purpose.

Fastened by one chain, united by one purpose.

Fastened by one chain, united by one purpose.

Fastened by one chain, united by one purpose.

Fastened by one chain, united by one purpose.

Fastened by one chain, united by one purpose.

Fastened......
