[COMPANY]
Outside rages war
Inside palace gates royal wages soar
Eating fancy suppers still on golden plates
While we peasants fall ill unanswered (unanswered) and forgotten (forgotten)

Workers in factories make bombs and suck rotten food and stick to fury's glue
Bayonette attached bluntly
Ill-armed in ill-fitting uniform
Fighting for splintered country
Basonettes are empty
Our babies line trenches

Led we are by a faulty tsar blindly to battle
Running forward like cattle
Branded and owned
Gunned down and trampled
Our blood fills war's ditches
Bodies crush and crumple
Onward Russia stumbles
Russia falters on this worldstage
Falling off the edge like lemmings we rush towards the end

And inside palace gates sits a Tsarista and her mate
This strange Beardo puts a hood over our heads and kicks blinded
State drinking wine, the cavorting cajoling swine
God, help us
God, give us courage to fight our case
Maybe it's time, God, to turn away from royalty and give to the
People who have shown you loyalty
We are bent on our knees for you
But soon our trust and faith will be past due
