Smell of lie- smell of time

Smell of lie so musky you could vomit

Some say necessary just to make a point
Some say saving lives, but still a lie
Maybe even useful, still a lie
As if nothing else you ever try
Throwing bombs to save a country, goddamn lie
Helping oil pumping, profits growing
Prices rising so that pants are blowing
Killing, maiming, lovely pictures drawing.
Stinky and disgusting smell of lie.


B. Slutsky ( modern translation from Russian by MS)
