В.С. Высоцкий "Песня о впечатлениях от лекции о международном положении, прочитанной в Бутырской тюрьме посаженным туда на пятнадцать суток за хулиганство"
Без трех минут бал восковых фигур. Без четверти смерть. С семи драных шкур хоть шерсти клок. Но как хочется жить — не меньше, чем спеть. Свяжи мою нить в узелок.
Холодный апрель. Горячие сны. И вирусы новых нот в крови. И каждая цель ближайшей войны Смеется и ждет любви.
Наш лечащий врач согреет солнечный шприц. И иглы лучей опять найдут нашу кровь. Не надо, не плачь. Сиди и смотри, Как горлом идет любовь.
Лови ее ртом — стаканы тесны. Торпедный аккорд до дна! Рекламный плакат последней весны Качает квадрат окна.
Эй, дырявый висок, слепая орда, Пойми, никогда не поздно снимать броню. Целуя кусок трофейного льда, Я молча иду к огню.
Мы — выродки крыс. Мы — пасынки птиц. И каждый на треть до сих пор патрон. Лежи и смотри, как ядерный принц Несет свою плеть на трон.
Не плачь, не жалей. Кого нам жалеть? Ведь ты, как и я, сирота. Ну, что ты, смелей! Нам нужно лететь! А ну от винта! Все от винта!
Time is drifting away To form another day With our without me My faith to be Tomorrow I will not see «Be in the deepest of dreams or the darkest of deaths Nor can either of these Truly guarantee my release» Staring at these four walls Remembering what I have achieved Enter the tomb of the deceived All that were is lost Whores of mankind Take my fuckin' life Alone I'll be One with the dreams in red Flatlined and cold I lay Victim of their play In the shadows of the obscure My soul forever never more
How can you climb a mountain to kill a God? Why do you cross unknown lands, to kill our Gods? Why do you build walls... to starve our Gods? Is it for the same reason you blind us?
Is this way you punish our children? And rape our sisters? When will we drown? When will we burn? Will you die with us? I think so You are slicing your own wrists You are tearing your own hearts And you are drowning your own children So you can end it... or we will We are telling them the truth And revealing all your lies We do not need to climb a mountain Or to cross unknown lands... ...Because we are Gods And we will drown you We will burn your homes We the people, we the spirits, we the Gods
stand — you can do it stand — go right to it stand — nobody can do a damn thing to you
but you can't stand — if you don't care can't stand — if you don't dare can't stand — if you're running scared forget you're blood & bone stand like you're made of stone
stand — on your honor stand — show you're gonna stand — they can't put the creeping death upon you
if you stand — never move it stand — gotta prove it stand — stand 'cause you can't stand to lose it
stand — stand — stand like a rock stand — stand — you stop their clock stand — stand — put them into shock stand stand — stand — together stand — yeah you better stand — don't you know that you can live forever if you stand — one for all stand — don't you crawl stand — if you stand then you deserve it all
but if you can't stand, then they're the boss, can't stand — it's a total loss can't stand — they'll nail you to the cross forget you're blood and bone stand like you're made of stone stand
Thy every look and every grace so charm whenever I view thee, 'til death overtake me in the chase still will my hopes pursue thee Then when my tedious hours have past, be this my last blessing given low at thy feet to breathe my last and die in sight of heaven
