Lyrics Василий К. и Интеллигенты - Мировая печаль

World sadness

Vasily K.
text based on Leonard Cohen's song Everybody Knows

everyone knows your genius is great
everyone knows how hard it was to work
everyone knows you underpaid
all are silent but they are all lying
everyone knows that a lie is inevitable
everyone will forgive themselves and you
everyone confuses memory with hope
everyone knows better than to give
everyone knows that there is no God
everyone cherishes his prayer
everyone knows to be weak is sin
everyone was thinking about pills and a razor

and how can I stand on my feet
and mumbling some more speeches
when all the world's sadness
on my weak shoulders

everyone stood in front of a lingering tank
everyone was sitting for killing love
everyone walked the Thermopyl Passage
everyone was lying dead in the dust
everyone cut their cutlets looking
to pieces of camouflage stuck to the bones
everyone dreamed for page page
they are Uzbeks and I Genghis Khan
everyone knows he's your best friend
than wants to help but money will not give
and if in the corner it is not pinned
then maybe even will not sell

and how can I stand on my feet
and mumbling some more speeches
when all the world's sadness
on my weak shoulders

everyone was walking at our wedding
everyone knows that you are alone
everyone saw you without clothes
everyone knows that you are faithful to me
everyone measured his love for the crowns
everyone thought And how much to keep to himself?
everyone knows your millions
this is what you once saw in a dream
everyone knows you will soon die
everyone will help if you have to
raspory your breasts and your heart
give them a look while it beats
