ALREADY WINNING

A DC Tribute to Pussy Riot

ABOUT

We sincerely hope that our punk prayer will encourage others to learn more not only about Pussy Riot and their case but also about Russia and the struggles faced by all reformers, both radical and practical alike. The lyrics are inspired by Nadezhda Tolokonnikova's letters from detention. Watch the Pussy Riot Punk Prayer and learn how to be angry at FreePussyRiot.org.

LYRICS

Are you there god it's me Putin
Coming to confess my sins
I have been punked by a trinity
of righteous hooligans
Progoni Putin
Progoni Putin

This is the 21st century
And you can be what you want to be
And you can say what you want to say
And you can play what you want to play
In this world we're living in
There's no iron curtain
You can hide your face behind

The unbelievable is happening
We are already winning
We have learned how to be angry
Scared by a bunch of pussies

This is the 21st century
And you can be what you want to be
And you can say what you want to say
And you can play what you want to play
In this world we're living in
You know dissention is not a sin
And the F word is not a crime

The unbelievable is happening
We are already winning
We have learned how to be angry
Scared by a bunch of pussies
Totalitarian is criminal
And the private is political
We are all making history
Scared by a bunch of pussies
