Pussy Riot: "Make America Great Again" WARNING!!. . . NSFW

NSFC - Not Suitable For Children (either)



Lyrics:
What do you want your world to look like?
What do you want it to be?
Do you know that a wall has two sides?
And nobody is free?

Did your mama come from Mexico
Papa come from Palestine
Sneaking all through Syria
Crossing all the border lines

Let other people in
Listen to your women
Stop killing black children
Make America Great Again (2x)

Could you imagine a politician
Calling a woman a dog?
Do you wanna stay in the kitchen?
Is that where you belong?
How do you picture the perfect leader
Who do you want him to be
Has he promoted the use of torture and killing families

Did your mama come from Mexico
Papa come from Palestine
Sneaking all through Syria
Crossing all the border lines

Let other people in
Listen to your women
Stop killing black children
Make America Great Again (4x)

A radio version with a bit less trump and more to fill the gaps could be a hit in Europe

Surprisingly good, the video is something to see, less mainstream

This is what "my fellow Americans" want?

Sick, fascist, sociopathic dementia.

And Trump sucks, too!

This will endear me to my FB conservative buds even more than my posts on slavery and black lives matter.

These girls went to Russian prison for more time than i could cope with to stand up for freedom of speech, and maybe anti-totalitarian? And other than the branding scars, they exceed Trump's standards for female worthiness.

dRump wishes he could lock them up like Putin did!!!

Wouldn't it be funny to have a "tech" person play that video at a dRump rally?

Better yet, they perform at one of Hillary's inauguration parties!!!!!

Although it looks like Nadezhda Tolokonnikova is the only member of Pussy Riot left, based on the video.

Is this her first song in English? Not bad. Definitely more commercial and catchy. But with a hard political edge.


I found this article in Esquire with an interview on what they are doing now and Nadya's views on Putin and Trump

http://www.esquire.com/news-politics/interviews/a50042/pussy-riot-interview-nadya-tolokno/

Trump talks about making America great again—taking it back to an earlier time when things were supposedly better. Does Putin have any of that?:

Yeah, for sure. And a lot of people in Russia supported him for it. But it's just a psychological rule—you always believe something in the past was better than you have it right now. Putin rarely speaks about plans for the future, he talks about the past. Do we really want to re-start the Cold War? If Putin goes back to the Soviet Union and Trump makes America great again—as it was three or four decades years ago—are we going back to a Cold War? Are we going back to nuclear weapons and the prospect of atomic war? Really?

Their English is excellent.

I find it hilarious that any Trumper would think women like this could possibly be put back in the kitchen.
