Union of Composers
Concert in Podolsk · 1987 · Track 2
Here is a truly prestigious feeding trough
Loud slurping echoes from inside
A massive rump, bloated like a pillow
Sits enthroned as the Musical Buddha
A well-fed belch rings through the air
They slumber in an already happy dream
All the High-Flying Birds
All the Deep-Swimming Fish
Snatch a fattier piece, and quickly!
Shove a colleague from the feeding trough!
Extort a fee, and do it faster!
Cover it up with a convenient slogan!
And look, broadcasting through the ether
Heavily doused in mothballs
Sickly sweet, just like a marshmallow
The so-called High Art
Snatch a piece!
Snatch a piece!
Snatch a piece!
MAKE IT FATTER!
