about

A 2012 5090 song. It was played at the Michigan Theater in Ann Arbor on September 18, 2014 right before a Pussy Riot lecture (and we were given credit by the Master of Ceremonies)

lyrics

Group of women sing a song in a church
About the broken system where they live
Corruption there leaves them in the lurch
Electoral fraud they can't forgive

Pussy Riot have a right to protest
Pussy Riot shouldn't face arrest
Pussy Riot should not be in prison
Your government has our derision

Putin clings to power, autocracy
President despite the vote against
Media write with hypocrisy
Dissidents want the truth dispensed

Pussy Riot it's not a crime
Pussy Riot we'll write a rhyme
Pussy Riot what you did
Putins' autocracy, to get rid

They have a government and ruling class
Don't care about the ordinary people
Inequalities that are hard to surpass
Someone has to preach below the steeple

Pussy Riot have a right to protest
Pussy Riot shouldn't face arrest
Pussy Riot should not be in prison
Your government has our derision

Taken to a kangaroo court
Where freedom could never be bought
The Riot women sit and listen
On their chains the lights glisten
The Kremlin writes a long judgement
A guilty verdict cast in cement
Two years in a harsh labour camp
For singing a song on an alter ramp

Pussy Riot it's not a crime
Pussy Riot we'll write a rhyme
Pussy Riot what you did
Putins' autocracy, to get rid

We'll not forget you do not worry
Putin wants you dead and buried
We'll remember this miscarriage of justice
Continue to fight this act of malice

Pussy Riot have a right to protest
Pussy Riot shouldn't face arrest
Pussy Riot should not be in prison
Your government has our derision
