Lyrics
Ya em na obed zolotye slitki
Brilliantovyy desert, neftyanye slivki
Mne imya Vel'zevul - khozyain stratosfery
Ya nereal'nyy kul - moy respekt bez mery
V levoy ruke - "Snikers", v pravoy ruke - "Mars"
Moy piar-menedzher - Karl Marks
V levoy ruke - "Snikers", v pravoy ruke - "Mars"
Moy piar-menedzher - Karl Marks
Kapital! Kapital! Kapital! Kapital!
Ya em goroda, moryami zapivayu
Moya boroda nebo zaslonyaet
Grom i molnii, tumany i dozhdi
Moi botinki lizhut ministry i vozhdi
V levoy ruke - "Snikers", v pravoy ruke - "Mars"
Moy piar-menedzher - Karl Marks
Moe litso - Madonna, vnutri iz tukhlykh grush
Vse na koleni! Orkestr, tush!
Kapital! Kapital! Kapital! Kapital!
For my dinner, I eat gold bars
Diamond dessert, oil cream
My name is Beelzebub, master of the stratosphere
I'm way too cool, respect for me has no measure
In my left hand a "Snickers", in my right hand a "Mars"
My PR manager is Karl Marx
In my left hand, "Snickers", in my right hand, "Mars"
My PR manager is Karl Marx
Capital! Capital! Capital! Capital!
I eat cities, drinking them down with seas
My beard eclipses the sky
The thunder, wind and rains
Ministers and leaders lick my boots
In my left hand a "Snickers", in my right hand a "Mars"
My PR manager is Karl Marx
My face is Madonna, but inside it's rotten pears
All on your knees! Orchestra, flourish!
Capital! Capital! Capital! Capital!
