Songs of Revolution iv: Pussy Riot – Police State

*All lyrics and music belong to the artist Pussy Riot.*


“Power built on totalitarian principles cannot admit its mistakes… This power sees conspiracy everywhere behind its back, so it lives with its head turned backwards, checking that no one is following it, that no one is dreaming up a revolution.” – Maria Alyokhina

Big smile for the camera, it’s always on

It’s all in the protocol, they tapped my phone

Golden idols holding rifles, take my body, anybody

I’m your trophy, make my nose bleed, now you own me

Oh my god, I’m so happy I could die

Oh my god, I’m so happy I could cry

Oh my god, I’m so happy I could die (everybody’s doing the same and it makes me happy, yeah, and it makes me happy, yeah)

Oh my god, I’m so happy I could cry (everybody’s doing the same and it makes me happy, yeah, and it makes me happy, yeah)

No problems in paradise, we’ll lock them up

We all gotta sacrifice, it won’t be long

Shut the borders, burn the other, sons and daughters, and the mothers

Drink the Kool-Aid, it’s a new way, do what I say

Oh my god, I’m so happy I could die

Oh my god, I’m so happy I could cry

Oh my god, I’m so happy I could die (everybody’s doing the same and it makes me happy, yeah, and it makes me happy, yeah)

Oh my god, I’m so happy I could cry (everybody’s doing the same and it makes me happy, yeah, and it makes me happy, yeah)

Golden idols holding rifles, take my body, anybody

I’m your trophy, make my nose bleed, now you own me

Oh my god, I’m so happy I could die

Oh my god, I’m so happy I could cry

Oh my god, I’m so happy I could die (everybody’s doing the same and it makes me happy, yeah, and it makes me happy, yeah)

Oh my god, I’m so happy I could cry (everybody’s doing the same and it makes me happy, yeah, makes me happy, yeah)

Oh my god, I’m so happy I could die (everybody’s doing the same and it makes me happy, yeah, and it makes me happy, yeah)

Oh my god, I’m so happy I could cry (everybody’s doing the same and it makes me happy, yeah, and it makes me happy, yeah)

A New Useless Class is a creative outlet that focuses on manipulation.

The existential A.I. Crisis of Tomorrow has arrived. The work shortages are just beginning.

Centuries of advanced propaganda campaigns attacking our differences has Poisoned the well. There is no adequate substitute for harmony among people. No product can replace peace, and at the moment, peace for most is being held hostage by a very Privileged few across the globe.
