Solidarity for Pussy Riot

by Mark Rawlins   Mar 3, 2014


As Beyonce jerks and Miley twerks
and tits still pop out of the sun,
the feminist fighters and radical writers
can see there's more work to be done.

So they look to the east, where Vlad is a beast,
and if you dare to speak out for your rights
they throw you in jail - but it's to no avail
'cause the pussies just want to have riots.

They were locked up in cells for indefinite spells
and beaten and whipped on the floor.
They were only let out with the world's press about,
then they stood up and went back for more.

But it's not with a gun those girls want to have fun
and put the regime in a stew,
but through poems and songs they're exposing the wrongs
and showing what artists can do.

Now the skiers and skaters, whose souls have been sold
for five minutes fame and olympic gold
have gone back to their freedom and democracy
wearing medals of shame and hypocrisy ....

Where Beyonce's still jerking and Miley's still twerking
and tits still appear on page three.
Now we look to Ukraine, where Vlad's at it again
'cause the people there dared to be free.

So painters and writers, wherever you are,
or if you can sing or play the guitar ...
Take to the streets, and never keep quiet
and show solidarity for Pussy Riot.
