and thunderbolts in each hand of my own
for I'm comin' back to level
Everything they taught us wrong
With a crave for for panacea
World is crawlin' on all fours
In a search of a new prayer
Gods are throwin' thunderbolts
So dub it like toyarisch would
Dub it like a best friend could
Dub it like a brother would
Onto Transmigration!
I need leads how to keep going
On the trail of ultimate from the streets to the subconscious
from subconscious to the God
Master tell me how come everything they taught us
Always seems to be so god damn wrong
In the meantime music from the tiny island
Takes over the world
Frequencies of love
Gather round, oh come on
Frequencies of love
Overcome, overthrow!
So dub it like tovarisch could
Say it like a brother would
Hold me like a mother would
Onto transmigration
Gogol Bordello is an American punk rock band from the Lower East Side of Manhattan, formed in 1999 by musicians from all over the world and known for theatrical stage shows and persistent touring. Much of the band's sound is inspired by Romani and Ukrainian music mixed with punk and dub, incorporating accordion and violin (and on some albums, saxophone).
The band has appeared in several popular films, most notably Everything Is Illuminated (2005) in which lead singer Eugene Hütz co-starred with Elijah Wood in a dramedy/adventure story about the Nazi purges in Ukraine. The group appears playing a brass band in a set that included the "Star-Spangled Banner" and the traditional Yiddish song "Bublitschki". Gogol Bordello contributed the song "Start Wearing Purple" to the film's score. The band is the focus of the 2008 documentary Gogol Bordello Non-Stop. The band recorded the song "Let's Get Crazy" for Coca-Cola's Euro 2012 advertising campaign.
