Gypsy Punks: Underdog World Strike

Multi Kontra Culti Vs. Irony

Divergent Spectrum

Trans-Continental Hustle

Combining elements of punk, gypsy music, and Brechtian cabaret, Gogol Bordello  tells the story of New York's immigrant diaspora through debauchery, humor, and surreal costumes. Leader and singer Eugene H&uuml;tz's taste in music was spun out of black-market tapes of the The Birthday Party and Einst&uuml;rzende Neubauten in his native Ukraine.  After being evacuated to Western Ukraine in 1986 following the Chernobyl disaster, Hütz became enamored of the mystical, outsider qualities of gypsy music.

Frozen eyes, sweaty back
My family's sleeping on a railroad track
All my life I pack/unpack

I gotta pay representation
To be accepted in a nation
Where after efforts of a hero
Welcome start again from zero

True stories that can't be denied
It's more than true it actually happened

Dm                      G
When there is trap set up for you,
   C                    F
In every corner of this town,
    F                G           C          Am
And so you learn the only way to go is underground.
Dm                       G
When there is a trap set up for you,
   C                    F
In every corner of your room,
    F                G           C                 Am
And so you learn the only way to go is through the roof.

F     G                C           Am
Ooohooooh, through the roof, underground.
F     G                C           Am
Ooohooooh, through the roof, underground.


Dm              G
And we crossing border after border,
   C                         F
We realise the difference is none.
     F                  G
It's underdogs who, and if you want it,
    C                            Am
You always have to make your own fun.

    Dm              G
And as the upperdog leisurely sighing,
    C                  F
The local cultures are dying and dying.
    F                     G
The programmed robots are buying and buying,
  C                            Am
Secluded freaks they are still trying trying.


F     G                C           Am
Ooohooooh, through the roof, underground.
F     G                C           Am
Ooohooooh, through the roof, underground.


    Dm                         G
And as the boy scouts learn to read between the lines,
    C                                F
The silver rabbits hop between their fathers' lies.
    F                       G
And boy scouts ask, "Where? Where do they go?"
     C                          Am
They go to the country that they only know.

Dm                            G
Just like their meanings they lay between the lines,
  C                            F
Between the borders their real countries hide,
      F                G
Their strategies, they advertise,
      C                           Am
Their strategy of being is one of in-your-face disguise.


F     G                C           Am
Ooohooooh, through the roof, underground.
F     G                C           Am
Ooohooooh, through the roof, underground.


    Dm                        G
And when their own walls they will a-crumble,
    C                       F
And all the systems will be discumbumbled,
F                   G
Around the stump of bigotry, our own,
C              Am                      
Silver rabbits dance the round dance.  

F     G                C           Am
Ooohooooh, through the roof, underground.
F     G                C              Am
Ooohooooh, through the roof, and underground.
F     G                C           Am
Ooohooooh, through the roof, underground.
F     G                C           Am
Ooohooooh, through the roof, underground!

Through The Roof N Underground.

Bright open eyes. They are still looking

a few unpoisoned hearts

no matter where you are exiled.

My Strange Uncles From Abroad

Starts with strumming Em...

Em                              B
Sometimes when facing common trouble
                      Em
When whole town is screwed
                    B
We become actually human
                     Em 
Act like Prometheus would
                        A 
Suddenly there is more humor
                    G
And a party tabor style
                     B
People ringing one another
                           Em
"Yo man, how was your blackout?"
                        B 
Suddenly there is more music
                              Em 
Made with the buckets in the park
                             B
Girls are dancing with the flashlights
                   Em
I got only one guitar!
                          A 
And you see brothers and sisters
                         G
All engaged in sport of help
                     B    
Making merry out of nothing
                 Em 
Like in refugee camp

Em  
           B                         Em 
Oh yeah Oh no, it doesn't have to be so
                    B
It is possible any time anywhere
                  Em 
Even without any dope
           B                         Em
Oh yeah Oh no, it doesn't have to be so
                 B                     Em        
Forces of the creative mind are unstoppable!

and so on...

Am               E
First time I had read the Bible
Dm               Am
It had struck me as unwitty
Am             E
I think it may start a rumor
Dm                  Am
That the Lord ain't got no humor
(Verse)
Am  E  Dm     Am
Put me inside SSC
Am    E        Dm      Am
Let's test superstring theory
Am       E  Dm            Am
Oh yoi yoi accelerate the protons
Am      E     Dm                  Am
stir it twice and then just add me, 'cause

(Chorus)
Am               E
I don't read the Bible
Dm            Am
I don't trust disciple
Am              E
Even if they're made of marble
Dm              Am
Or Canal Street bling

(verse)
From the maelstrom of the knowledge
Into the labyrinth of doubt
Frozed underground ocean
melting - nuking on my mind

(verse)
Give me Everything Theory
Without Nazi uniformity
My brothers are protons
My sisters are neurons
Stir it twice, it's instant family!

(chorus)
I don't read the Bible
I don't trust disciple
Even if they're made of marble
Or Canal Street bling

My brothers are protons
My sisters are neurons
Stir it twice dlja prekrastnih dam...


(breakdown)
(for the breakdown dont begin until after "family")
Do you have sex maniacs
Or schizophrenics
Or astrophysicists in your family
Was my grandma anti anti
Was my grandpa bounty bounty
Hek-o-hek-o-hej-o
They ask me in embassy!

'Cause I don't read the Bible
I don't trust disciple
Even if they're made of marble
Or Canal Street bling

And my grandma she was anti!
And my grandpa he was bounty!
And stir it twice
And then just add me!

Why didn't you come when I beat my drum

And screamed off my head out into the night
              C                    G
Scared of the slums, afraid of the guns
            Bm7              Em
Don't wanna see the hoodlums fight

And you screamed your head off into the night

And by the castas we don't divide

It's just father told me tonight authorities

Two helicopters with machine guns

Over the slums proudly will glide
            C             G
So when the universes collide

When Universes Collide

This track by Gogol Bordello, ' through the roof..(and underground)  was featured in the film 'Wristcutters: a Love Story' and it well matched the film.

Verse 1:
           B
I'm going back to the time when we owned this town
      E
Down Powder Mill Lane, in the battlegrounds
C#m        B                   G#m  B     F#
We were friends and lovers and clueless clowns


Verse 2:
                      B       
I didn't know I'd be finding out now I was torn from you
         E
When we thought about things we were gonna do
C#m      B                    G#m B  F# 
We were wide eyed dreamers and wiser too


Chorus:
               E              B 
Go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café


Verse 3:
                          B
I'm begging you for some sign, but you've still got nothing to say
        E
Don't turn your back on me, don't walk away
C#m     B                   G#m  B   F#
I'm a better man now than I was that day


Chorus:
                      E              B 
Let's go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café

                 E               B
Go down to the bandstand on the pier
           G#m                    F#
Watch the drunks and the lovers appear
                      E                     G#m   F#     
Take time, just the stars at the Sovereign Light Café


Bridge:
   E        B           F#
I wheel my bike off the train,
        F#
Up the North Trade Road,
 E        B             F# 
Look for you on Marley Lane
                          G#m
In every building, every streetlight
                   E               F#  G#m  B  F#
Oh why did we ever go so far from home?


Verse 4:
                        B
You keep on leaving me mile long traces of who you are
         E
You can get a big house and a faster car
C#m      B                    G#m   B  F#
You can run away boy, but you won't go far


Chorus:
                      E              B
Let's go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café

                    E                B
Stroll down to the bandstand on the pier
           G#m                    F#
Watch the drunks and the lovers appear
                     E                      G#m   F#
Take time, just the stars at the Sovereign Light Café 

      E            B    G#m
La la la la la la la la Yeah, 
     F#                      E       B   F#

Rollin', rollin', rollin', rollin', rollin'

We just need a face to face
C                    Em7            F
You could pick the time and the place

American Dream 

G Bm Em A
Well everybody's lookin' for something they can't find,
Walking straight ahead blind-folded production line,
Only taking time for one type of shoe-shine.
Don't look left/right now you got a street fine.
Everybody lookin' for just a little more.
Working late-nights trying to fight off the day glow.
Waiting for the come-around but it is a no show.
Driving in the fast lane lookin' for the slow-mo...

C D A
Oh whats in store I don't know anymore.
Oh what's inside 'cos I can't hide from it no more.
Oh what you see well it's not me anymore.
Oh I don't know well I don't know man anymore because 

G Bm Em A
I tell you once I tell you twice, gonna be a long time
But you don't take no one's advice, gonna be a long time you,
Where were you, you weren't listenin', gonna be a long time
Gonna be a long time.

G Bm Em A
So now you're face down, face lookin like a frying pan.
Hitting up the clubs trying to feel like a real man.
Beating your chest just like you're King Kong but you're just a gui-tar no-string no-song.
Feeling free like ya don't even know it, man you're towing the line hoping you just don't blow it.
Man ya stuck in the mainframe trying to win the big game so much potential it even makes it more of a shame, shame, shame...
Here we go again, same old shit just another name.
Looking at the destiny there in your palm,
But now you got your strings but you got no song.
So sing, sing, sing - shake it like a chicken wing.
It's not what you get it's about what you bring-bring-bring.
So bring it, bring it to the table, not because you have to 'cos you're willing and you're able!

C D A
Oh what's in store I don't know anymore.
Oh what's inside 'cos I can't hide from it no more.
Oh what you see well it's not me anymore.
Oh I don't know, I don't know anymore because 

G Bm Em A
I tell you once I tell you twice, gonna be a long time.
But you don't take no one's advice, gonna be a long time.
You, where were you, you weren't listening, gonna be a long time.
Gonna be a long time.
