"Blat"

Scrawl with biro upon the wood
That stands at graves where stone should stand
The enfant names of the Beslan dead
Form inky stains on splintered hands

Gross death of youth yet still no shock
Putin usurped by filthy whores
"Blat" to blame all you business men
Give new meaning to term "cold war".

Murder is still murder
Under any name
Murder is still murder
No excuse just shame

Sibneft Tsar in Abramovich
Russia ruled by its patronage
Oligarchs the super bourgois
Capital slicks slay sufferage

Read red graffitied underpass
"Mashkadov - our president, our choice"
$10m price put upon his head
Zachistika - supress their voice

Murder is still murder
Under any name
Murder is still murder
No excuse just shame

And in the rain, newspaper print
Runs fast as memory washed forgets
But siblings skin is stained for life
The curse is cast, the future sets

Chechynan rebels ignored now riled
Chechnyan rebels like any child
