about

I saw a painting of Barge Haulers on the Volga by Ilya Yefimovich Repin. So inspired I decided to write a song... Wish it had bass..

lyrics

Oh Volga, you Mighty bitch/
So fucking Deep and Wide/
I know you’re forced betrayal/
But I can’t help but feel no pride/
Ironically the life you give is sucking ours bone dry/
Now pull hard; One! Two! Three!

So Heave! Heave Ho, my friends/
We’ve got rifles to our backs and we’ll pull until the end/
And in our grave, Call us… The Volga Boatmen/

I’m not Romanticizing the labours of our lost/
You hungry rats you’ve done nothing but exhaust/
This ship is burning and you will fucking die in it/
Now sing loud; One! Two! Three!
