From the 2002 album Multi Kontra Culti vs. Irony. “Through the Roof ‘n’ Underground” talks, in the inimitable Gogol Bordello way, about minorities and traditional cultures at risk from increasing globalisation.
This song was featured in the 2006 black comedy Wristcutters: A Love Story.
When there is trap set up for you
In every corner of this town
And so you learn the only way to go is
Underground
When there's a trap set up for you
In every corner of your room
And so you learn the only way to go is
Through the roof
Ooh, through the roof, underground
Ooh, through the roof, underground
And as we're crossing border after border
We realize that difference is none
It's underdog zoo and if you want it
You always have to make your own fun
And as the upperdog leisurely sighing
The local cultures are dying and dying
The programmed robots are buying and buying
And all secluded freaks, they are still trying, trying
Ooh, through the roof, underground
Ooh, through the roof, underground
And as the boy scouts learn to read between the lines
The silver rabbits hop between their fathers' lies
And boy scouts ask, "Pa, where do they go?"
They go to the country that they only know
Just like their meanings, they lay between the lines
Between the borders, their real countries hide
Their strategy was all they advertise
Their strategy of being is one of in-your-face disguise
Ooh, through the roof, underground
Ooh, through the roof, underground
And when their own walls they will a-crumble
And all the systems will be discumbumbled
Around the stump of bigotry abroad
Серебряные зайцы водят хоровод!
Ooh, through the roof, underground
Ooh, through the roof, and underground
Ooh, through the roof, underground
Ooh, through the roof, underground
Серебряные зайцы там водят хоровод!
Ooh, through the roof, and underground
Ooh, through the roof, underground
