Виталий Чуриков - Dumb Cattle
текст песни

The house is full of screams, ridiculous quarrels,
Uninvited guests behind thin walls
The sound of breaking dishes, crystal, or glass is common
It seems strange to me, but they are used to it

My head is splitting, my nerves are on edge,
Silence and peace are like dreams, like something sad
It's a parody of a family, like a plundered country
There is one thing in front of my eyes, and a moral murder behind my back

Like a dumb brute, like a screaming herd, I wish you bastards would shut up
Silence beyond, boundless, deep,
Silence and peace, even if only for a moment

The walls are like cardboard, like thin paper,
There are restless people behind them, they are ringing
Children are starving, holding out their hands
For a piece of bread, for a crumpled piece of candy

Like a dumb brute, like a screaming herd, I wish
Shut your mouth, you bastard
Beyond that is silence, boundless, deep,
Peace and quiet, even if only for a moment

He screams again and covers his ears with his hands
Daddy's daughter is being punished for eating his food
Vagrant children feed on crumbs,
They cannot live, they are told that they will survive only by the will of fate

This childhood is painful, like an accident,
Like their whole life under a big black cloud
It's a mystery that contains both truth and lies
I wish these kids wouldn't pick up a knife
