The border’s key’s been broken in half
Our Father Lenin is wholly dead
Decayed to mold and linden honey
And the Perestroika is ever going on and on according to plan
And all the dirt has turned to bare ice
And everything is going according to plan
Everything is going according to plan

And my destiny wished to have some rest
I promised her not to join the war game
But my cap bears the hammer and sickle and the star
How touching it is – the hammer, sickle and the star
The lost lantern of expectation is flailing
And everything is going according to plan
Everything is going according to plan

And the crowd was fed with my wife
The world fist has torn her flesh
Popular freedom has stomped her breast
So bury her in Christ –
for everything is going according to plan
Everything is going according to plan

Now, Father Lenin was one good leader
And the rest remaining – such utter shit
And the rest – the enemies and such bastards
Our native homeland was covered in mad snow

I bought Korea magazine – they have it good, too
They have Comrade Kim Il Sung, they have it the same
I’m sure they have it all the same
And everything is going according to plan
Everything is going according to plan

And under Communism all will be fucking good
It will come soon enough, we just need to wait
Everything will be free, there all will be high
There probably will be no need to die
I woke up at midnight and saw that
everything is going according to plan
everything is going according to plan
everything is going according to plan
