Текст Serj Tankian — Electric Yerevan

Mismanaged foreign monopolistic utility firms should always be made public before we all burn,
For the cost of heating we take another beating, our wills are now seething, when will we all learn,

Civic societies are burgeoning in the world,

We don’t want to be the bitch of any superpowers, color revolutions fade, we want cheap power,

Electric, electric, electric
Electric Yerevan,

We say no to corruption and no to plunder,
Billionaire playgrounds are going under,
Electric, electric, electric

Electric Yerevan,

Brutal police crackdowns with water cannons serve to irrigate the seeds of discontent and malcontent,

Civil disobedience working like a charm,

We don’t want to be the bitch of any superpowers, color revolutions fade, we want cheap power,
Electric, electric, electric

Electric Yerevan,
We say no to corruption and no to plunder,

Billionaire playgrounds are going under,
Electric, electric, electric
Electric Yerevan,

It seems like the brutal police crackdown with water cannons and beating up people including journalists has predictably brought more people out into the streets of Yerevan today. This was a peaceful sit in. The police had the right to clear it and legally detain people without using undue force. The situation should not be politicized by foreign media or governments. This is a non-political reaction to an endemic economic marginalization of a large segment of the Armenian populace. The government of Armenia should make every effort to ameliorate the economic suffering of its citizens.

Fists up!!

We don’t want to be the bitch of any superpowers, color revolutions fade, we want cheap power,
Electric, electric, electric

Electric Yerevan,

We say no to corruption and no to plunder,

Billionaire playgrounds are going under,
Electric, electric, electric
Electric Yerevan,

Mismanaged foreign monopolistic utility firms should always be made public before we all burn,
For the cost of heating we take another beating.
