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
But man I got to earn this buck
I gotta pay representation
To be accepted in a nation
Where after efforts of a hero
Welcome start again from zero
It's a book of our true stories
True stories that can't be denied
It's more than true it actually happened
It's more than true it actually happened
Em        G

Verse:
Am                     Am
Don't believe them for a moment
Dm            E
For a second, do not believe, my friend
Am               Am             Dm
When you are down, them are not coming
E                 Am
With a helping hand
               Am              Dm
Of course this is no us and them
         E        (play like intro)Am   Am
But them they do not think the same
Dm            E
It's them who do not think

Chorus : the strumming is more casual here but the same chords

Am                 Dm         E
They never step on spiritual path
Am                        Dm               E
They paint their faces so differently from ours
Am                    Dm
And if you listen closely

First time I had read the Bible
Dm               Am
It had struck me as unwitty
Am             E
I think it may start a rumor

That the Lord ain't got no humor
(Verse)
Am  E  Dm     Am
Put me inside SSC

From the maelstrom of the knowledge
Into the labyrinth of doubt
Frozed underground ocean

Give me Everything Theory
Without Nazi uniformity
My brothers are protons
My sisters are neurons
Stir it twice, it's instant family!

I don't read the Bible

Stir it twice dlja prekrastnih dam...

(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!

Immigraniada (we Comin' Rougher)

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

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.

When there is a trap set up for you,

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.

Ooohooooh, through the roof, underground.

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.

Ooohooooh, through the roof, underground!

Y no sabes bien qué sentir
       F            A#                      C
Es adorable, que jamás los humanitos cambiarán

Am         F           C
  Yo solo sé decir de nada

No hay de que agradecer, de nada

Cuando eras de esta altura, éste

¿quién fue quien fuego te llevó?

¿Qué, alguien me nombró?

  Oh, yo sólo lazo el sol
          A#                    C
De nada, para estirar tu diversión

por las islas que traje del mar
              F                  C
No ruegues jamás, nunca más, de nada
         E7                     Am
¡Ha! Genial es mi manera de servir,

[Parte Rap]
C
De nada dudes ya
Hey, honestamente te explicaré 
de natural modo cada fenómeno
El mar, el sol, el gas, 
oh, ese es Maui hablando de más
Anguilas que, yo las enterré, 
de la palmera los cocos creé
Un consejo, una lección te doy
No me molestes si en mi descanso estoy
Am
  El tapiz que en mi piel se ve, 
F
  es el mapa de lo que gané
C
  Por donde fui provoqué mil sucesos
E7
  Ve al pequeñín mini Maui nomás zapateando,
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ¡Hey!

Por el mundo especial que doy

No hay de que agradecer, de nada (de nada)

Muy lejos navegaré, de nada (de nada)
       E7               Am

2) All my mem'ries, gather round her, 

   D			 C                G
1) Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah       River.
2) miner's lady,         stranger to blue water.

                      Em

        that I should have been home yesterday, yesterday.

Country Roads

Am      C              F              C
I had a dream, we were sipping whisky neat
        F              C                 G
Highest floor, the Bowery, and nowhere’s high enough
    Am              C                F             C
Somewhere along the lines, we stopped seeing eye to eye
         F               C           G
You were staying out all night and I had enough


      F           Am             F                    C       
No, I don't wanna know where you been or where you're goin’
      F               Am                 G
But I know I won't be home and you'll be on your own


            F                    C                G
Who's gonna walk you through the dark side of the morning?
            F                 C                 G

             F                C               G         E7   Am
Who's waking up to drive you home when you're drunk and all alone?
             F                    C                G

Am  C  Am       C              F           C
       I had a dream, we were back to seventeen
       F                   C            G
Summer nights and the Libertines, never growing up
Am             C          F                 C
I'll take with me the polaroids and the memories
        F              C                G
But you know I'm gonna leave behind the worst of us

Verse 1:
G                                    Em        G        Em
There was a girl who lived in London town.
G                                 Em                   G      Em
The scenes and sounds, they would only bring her down
C                                   D
She had polkadots and rubies in her dreams,
C                   D
French fantasies on cinema screens...
        C             G/B    Am     G
And she knew from the finish to the start
C      G/B      Am   G
It was bound to fall apart
C         G/B     Am   Em
Thanks to Cupid's lazy dart.
Em                                D
Wouldn't it be sweet if she could die from a broken heart?

G     Em      G      Em

Verse 2: (the same chords)
There was a boy who lived inside his head.
He couldn't face the world, so he turned his back instead.
He couldn't see in front of his eyes;
His fantasies of outlaws had him hypnotised...

And he knew from the finish to the start
It was bound to fall apart
Thanks to Cupid's lazy dart.                        F
Wouldn't it be sweet if he could die from a broken heart?

   C              G           F
Behold his golden wings
       C              G         F
And behold his bronze bow.
                 C             G         F
Can you hear his silver arrows sing?
       C               G     
As his gaylied favours glow.

(then go back to the normal verse bit)

There was a boy and girl who fell in love:
They both were in love with the stars and sky above,
Cinderella, cigarettes and scenes from the past
Were chasing them too fast for this love to ever last...

And they knew from the finish to the start
It was bound to fall apart
Thanks to Cupid's lazy dart.                         F
Wouldn't it be sweet if they could die from a broken heart? 

C   G    F    C    G

Repeat F  C  G until the end. End on G.

Arrows Of Eros

Am
There's a sadness all around us
          F                         C
There are words we're too afraid to say
                                        Am
The things that I thought would last forever
    F              G
Are changing every day

          Am
There's a hunger can't be satisfied
        F                       C
And the streets are filled with rage
C                       Am
It's time to dig deep inside ourselves
F                       G
And face the life we've made

Am
It's gonna take two of us
C                           Am
Ijust can't do it all on my own
F				  C
I see the day gettin' brighter
G                    F
Hold me a little bit tighter

C                      Am      F
Out of the darkness in hand in hand
     Am               F        G
Baby together we will make our stand
C                             Am      F
Reach out and touch me we can win somehow
       Am              F                G
I know there's nothing that can stop us now
F              Am                 G   C
Oh, baby, come with me out of the darkness
