Текст песни Аквариум - Поколение дворников

(Boris Grebenshchikov)

Generation janitors and watchmen
lost each other in the endless expanses of land,
everyone went home ...

Nowadays, when every third character
they do not write articles, they do not send telegrams,
they stand as a stage ...
when burning oil gushing from floor to floor
and from somewhere they can be heard singing ...
and who am I to tell them that it is - a mirage?

We were silent as the tsutsiki until the trade was all
that only can be sold, including our children
And the poisoned rain falls in the Gulf of rotting,
and we are still looking at the screen, we are still waiting for news

And our fathers had not lie to us - they do not know how to lie,
as a wolf can not eat meat, the birds can not fly

Tell me, what have I done to you, for this pain?
But it is without explanation, this seems to be something in the blood ...
But I myself sparked a fire that burned inside me,
I retired from the law, but has not reached the love

But pray for us, pray for us, if you can,
we have no hope, but - this is our path ...
And voices are getting closer and stricter
and I'll be damned if it is - a mirage!
