No posting USSR anthem, too obvious. Most of 9 to 5ers Anthem by Aesop Rockis just certified anti-work banger lines.
minus-squareGenderIsOpSec [she/her]hexbear9·edit-23 years agoThe literal english translation from Warszawianka is pretty cool: Hurra! Let's tear down the crown of the tzars, While peoples are wearing the one of thorns. Let's drown the rotten thrones in blood, Thrones already stained purple with the people's blood! Ha! Frightful vengeance to today's tormentors, That suck the life out of millions of people. Ha! Vengeance to the tzars and plutocrats, And we'll harvest the crops of the future! The modernized english version goes like this: Off with the crown of the tyrants of evil! Down in the dust with the prince and the peer! Strike off your chains, sons and daughters of labor! Wake all humanity, for victory is near. For something a bit more recent I always liked Chairman Mao by Bambu: I study Mao Tse-tung's tongue, the young gun Lock, load, and bust one Champion with it like brraammp pomp pomp pomp Lebanon guerrillas that'll egg 'em from ten yards With little pebbles, I call it strength in arms When it's broadcast on broadband, they savages like Tarzan They never get the background story they'd rather jam Your frequency with trickery and headline news It's nothing new And if it's only half the truth it ain't true Living proof that guerrillas in the Philippine jungle Won't stop, won't quit till the babies don't struggle I rumble with colonization's effects on my people, homes The buck stops here with a buck to your ear The current affairs that wear my fellow organizers out Same machine that be wiping my fellow activists out From the comfort of a couch we make critiques of the world While little girls in the mountains let the slug shots hurl link
