Шприц [Shprits] [English translation]

[Verse 1]

We are great neighbours, we love everyone, we are happy to see everyone

We don't steal lamps1, we maintain cleanness

Then why does the concierge2 look at us with malice

And why do people put a dead rat on a mat in front of our door?

Why do people bang on our pipes at night 3 and write nasty things about us on the walls of the elevator

Why did some bastard curse our whole family?

We pay regularly for common yard maintenance, we have done nothing wrong

It's just that dad really-really loves the band "Leningrad"4

The ceiling is shaking from obscenities, the ficus is breaking in half

We have shown dad to both fortune telles and priests

We have blocked access (to websites with the music) and still he finds a way

To write a long comment 5 full of compliments to the scandalous web-poems

[Prechorus]

And we have resorted to drastic measures

And the patient was shaking just like an angry pomeranian spitz

But the method was tested and the doctor was sure

And the nurse took out a sharp syrenge

[Chorus]

Dad was- Dad was-6 Dad was given a shot

Right in his- Right in his-7 Right in his thin belly

Dad was- Dad was- Dad was given a shot

Right in his- Right in his- Right in his thin belly

[Verse 2]

I'm attending piano, vocals and ballet classes

I'm spiritually growing and developing exquisite tastes

But it's not much help, because at home I hear again

Like a mantra words "Ass", "Louboutins" and "Jesus"8

Cockroaches and mice can't live in our flat

Pus and blood is streaming out of eyes and ears

There are no repairs going, no one is snoring, but those who live here are still suffering

It's a shame that dad doesn't like the band "Lyube"9 like all normal dads

[Prechorus]

And we have resorted to drastic measures

And the patient was shaking just like an angry pomeranian spitz

But the method was tested and the doctor was sure

And the nurse took out a sharp syrenge

[Chorus]

Dad was- Dad was- Dad was given a shot

Right in his- Right in his- Right in his thin belly

Dad was- Dad was- Dad was given a shot

Right in his- Right in his- Right in his thin belly

[Verse 3]

I'll grow up and become a famous singer

I'll find him and tell him "Sergey"10

"Thank you for a ruined childhood"

"Thank you for fathers' drinking habits and mothers' tears"

[Chorus]

Dad was- Dad was- Dad was given a shot

Right in his- Right in his- Right in his thin belly

Dad was- Dad was- Dad was given a shot

Right in his- Right in his- Right in his thin belly

Dad was- Dad was- Dad was given a shot

Right in his- Right in his- Right in his thin belly

Dad was- Dad was- Dad was given a shot

Right in his- Right in his- Right in his thin belly

[Outro]

Ha-ha-ha-ha

1. It used to be (and still is somewhere) a problem in Russia when people stole lamps from the common halls and took them to their own flats2. It is common in Russian appartment buildings to have a concierge that sits at the ground floor and is in charge of order3. If your neighbour that lives above or below you makes noise at night you bang on the pipes to express your dissatisfaction4. A famour Russian music band whose lyrics are full of screaming and swearing5. Простыня - a bed sheet, is a word often used to describe a very long message or comment6. The repeating phrase "Папе сде-" sounds like "По пизде" which is a part of swearing word combination. "Идти по пизде" means going completely to hell, or going not as planned7. The repeating phrase "Прямо в ху" sounds like "Прямо в хуй" translated as "Right in his dick"8. Refers to songs "Жопа", "Экспонат" "i_$uss" by the band Leningrad9. An older Russian band often liked by men above 40 or 5010. Refers to the vocalist of the band "Leningrad" Sergey Shnurov
