lyrics

Я поэт, книги сожгли
Я актриса, театр снесли
Я художник, отрезали руки,
Я тунеядка и я умираю от скуки
Голодом заморить бездельников наглых
Батьке в карман кладите, тунеядцы
Я умру честной паразиткой
Лучше под мостом, чем за решеткой

I am a poet, they burned down my books
I am an actor, they demolished my theater
I am a painter, they cut off my hands
I am a parasite and I am dying of boredom

Let those lowlifes starve to death
Give all your money to the big daddy

I will die an honest parasite
Rather under a bridge than behind bars

--
In April 2015 Belarus dictator Alexander Lukashenka signed Decree No.3, a law obliging unemployed individuals to pay taxes as "social parasites." His understanding was that such a law could unify the people against "parasites" living on minimal welfare and thereby unofficially help the declining economy of the country.
Ultimately and fortunately this sparked a chorus of outrage in the civil population. After thousands protested it the decree was suspended in March 2017 and abolished in January 2018.
The ideas behind this law remain not only in the heads of belorussian officials, but in a lot of regressive western politicians though.
We wont't have it. We will fight such repression tooth & nail.
