Going to Novorossiya
Lyrics by Russell Bonner Bentley
[A brilliant channeling and update of Woodie Guthrie’s classic, “All You Fascists Bound to Lose”.
Note the setting, with one imposing fighter with an assault rifle to the right-rear of “Texas” and another masked fighter gently rocking, nearly supine in a granny rocker to the left-rear of “Texas”. “Texas” sings in Texas-accented Russian, to the amusement of the translator producing the subtitles in English!
We can’t wait for “Texas” to reload his guitar with Woodie’s classic sign, “This Guitar Kills Fascists” and perform some more (including “All You Fascists Bound to Lose”).]
