TUT-TUT
(T.Hakola/T. Hakola)

Oh yes! It’s hell to breathe, air’s shot full of shit,
shot full of noise, air’s making you sick
If you still got ears and haven’t lost your brain
no matter the sphere, you’re in for soul-crushing pain

Still no matter the toll of that unholy strain
you can yourself console that you’re not… on a train in Ukraine

Oh my! You’re out of caramel topping and feeling upset
You’ll have to go shopping before the stores close
Oh shoot! It’s raining and you’re going to get wet
That’s how the cookie crumbles and the black cloud rolls

The world ain’t your oyster, you hardly feel free,
still you’re not under attack like President Zelenskyy
Tut-tut it looks like rain is your dismal refrain
still you’re not being whacked… like the people of Ukraine

Oh, waking up in the morning is so very hard to do
It takes three alarms to make sure you manage to
Yes, your life is a bitch, you’ll probably never be rich
and you can no longer tell fake news from true

Washing dishes is a struggle, your kitchen’s a sight
but it won’t be turned to rubble by a missile strike
Your hair feels wrong and you don’t like your clothes
but you won’t be bombed by a Russian air campaign
No, merrily you bumble along but will never know lows
like the woes of those in the throes… of the fight for Ukraine

Oh, my! It’s getting cold and your heating bill’s high
Your face is too old and you don’t trust your wifi
Your neighbor’s crap music is a god-awful curse
an assault on the soul from crap chorus to crap verse

Yes, you’re feeling hungry, haven’t eaten since noon
but at least there’s electricity to heat your bedroom
Bombs on your abode are not about to plummet
Your house will not explode in the blare of Putin’s trumpet

Ukraine stands for what my country did before
we gave comfort to the invader like a Vichy rat of yore
In a world upside down, a wannabe autocrat we did crown
while they were dying for democracy in Bakhmut town…
from Lviv to Kharkiv, from the Dnieper to the sea
holding the line for truth and common decency,
they’re fighting for you, defying for me the fascist gang…
trying to take Ukraine
