I Cannot Stand The Lies No More
Music & Lyrics by Dmitry Gorodnichy

Listen:

1.
I cannot stand the lies no more
They make me nauseous, feeling sore
I am vomiting 
I can't take them no more

2.
I cannot watch the people die
And then see colonels tell me why
If you kill people 
This is called a war

3.
For somebody it is a job (it's a well paid job)
For somebody it is a show (it's an interesting show)
And somebody 
don't care much at all

4.
But a war can never be justified
For (somebody's) power and money people die
Oh.. 
Oh..
Oh.. (What one can do?...)  … (You can't stop this machine...)

Я не могу больше выдерживать эту ложь 
(translation from English to Russian)
-------------------------------------

1.
Я не могу больше выдерживать эту ложь
От нее меня тошнит и все болит
Меня рвет
Я не могуее больше слушать ее

2.
Я не могу смотреть как люди умирают
А потом видеть полковников, говорящих мне для чего
Если вы убиваете людей -
это называется Война

3.
Для кого-то она - (хорошо оплачиваемая) работа
Для кого-то она - (интересное) шоu
A кому-то 
просто наплевать

4.
Но война никогда не может быть оправдана
з-за чьих-то денег и власти гибнут люди..
О...
The story behind:
I've heard the melody in my head at 5am that morning when the war on Iraq started. Actually at the time the war has not started yet, all that was there were the media news and talk-shows.
For some reason I could not fall back to sleep that morning, seeing in front of my eyes "persuasive" generals and repoters. That's how I started feeling nauseous and moaning to myself the words. The song was recorded right away, with me being still in my pyjama.
