This race of slaves was beaten down
Over the centuries
Democracy, they’ve never found
Throughout their history

This race of slaves always was bound
By dread autocracies
What’s kept them poor, scratching the ground
Reigns of kleptocracies

As slaves they have been ruled by fear
Of Czars and then Commies
But then the worst nightmare appeared
Mad Vlad’s oligarchy

It’s danger that they face if they’re
Exercising freedom
As slaves do almost everywhere
They bow down and keep mum

This race of slaves is terror-bound
If they speak up, they’ll be
Snuffed out and put under the ground
He kills relentlessly
Got sights on Navalny
And three on Baltic Sea
