I spent the last year and a half
Behaving politely
Practising my corporate laugh
I learnt to suffer fools lightly
This suit - it cannot tie me down
Take it off, they won’t shoot me
You’re fired doesn’t mean go and die
And this tie doesn’t suit me
Now it is time to get out
Throw that suit in the furnace
Get on the next train down
To Kupchino
The buildings grow high
They tore out the trees
We can’t see the sky
In Kupchino
The rats fled this place
They chewed through the walls
Abandoned the race
They’ve found a new town
And planted a crop
It’s growing there growing there growing there
I cannot bring myself
To kneel to my betters
But am I strong enough
To gnaw through these fetters?
Cognac, cigars at the club
Or beer by the bus stop
I’m sick of life at the top
But it’s so hard to give up
Mud is a balm for the soul
But my shoes are so shiny
They might get dirty
In Kupchino
The concrete and mud
You need a good dose
Not to hate your own blood
In Kupchino
The cigarette air
It cleanses your lungs
And rinses your hair
As soon as I’m fired
I swear to you all
I’m going there going there going there
