1. Life Must Be Changed

Ôåëèêñ Ðåìîâ
(Inspired by Queen’s The Show Must Go On)

Our houses —
For years we’ve lived in them, —
And city streets —
They’re full of criminals.
We’re obliged
To fight against the people who are out of law.

The awful crimes
Are overfilling our life.
This world is sick, yes,
And this our world is wild.
We’ve to do
Something to save it from the pest.

Life must be changed,
It’s true.
Robbers and killers,
Other felons
We don’t need.

Our kids in danger,
And we must care for them.
D’you hear me, people?
Open your eyes, I ask.
What can be done?
This is the question for us to decide.

We know this world is wrong,
It must be changed.
But how? We do not know,
Don’t have any idea.
But to change it
Is our duty that we must carry out.

Life must be changed,
No doubt.
Yes, we must unify,
And we must really try
To change it.

Life consists of white and black colors,
These colors are alternated all the time,
But we must change our life.

Life must be changed,
That’s all.
I know that I am right:
We have to change our life.
Though our life is too short,
Of death there are no thoughts.
Life must be changed!
