Serj Tankian - Electric Yerevan lyrics
[Serj Tankian - Electric Yerevan lyrics]
Should always be made public
Before we all burn for the cost of heating
We take another beating
Our wills are now seething
When will we all learn?
Civic societies are burgeoning in the world
We don't want to be the
Bitch of any superpowers
Color revolutions fade, we want cheap power
Electric, electric, electric
Electric Yerevan
We say no to corruption and no to plunder
Billionaire playgrounds are going under
Electric, electric, electric
Electric Yerevan
Brutal police crackdowns with water cannons
Serve to irrigate the seeds
Of discontent and malcontent
Civil disobedience working like a charm
We don't want to be the
Bitch of any superpowers
Color revolutions fade, we want cheap power
Electric, electric, electric
Electric Yerevan
We say no to corruption and no to plunder
Billionaire playgrounds are going under
Electric, electric, electric
Electric Yerevan
It seems like the brutal police
Crackdown with water cannons
And beating up people including journalists
Has predictably brought more people out into
The streets of Yerevan today
This was a peaceful sit in
The police had the right to clear it
And legally detain people without
Using undue force
This situation should not be politicized
By foreign media or governments
This is a non-political reaction to
An endemic economic marginalization
Of a large segment of the Armenian populace
The government of Armenia should
Make every effort to
Ameliorate the economic suffering
Of it's citizens
Hey, hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey
Hey, hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey
Hey, hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey
Hey, hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey
Hey, hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey
Hey, hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey
Hey, hey hey hey
We don't want to be the
Bitch of any superpowers
Color revolutions fade, we want cheap power
Electric, electric, electric
Electric Yerevan
We say no to corruption and no to plunder
Billionaire playgrounds are going under
Electric, electric, electric
Electric Yerevan
Mismanaged foreign monopolistic utility firms
Should always be made public
Before we all burn for the cost of heating
We take another beating
