Loud music coming from his next door neighbor's place

Indicates a handful of disgrace,

a culture of constant disrespect,

nothing more to expect

but unconscious misery.

It gets louder each day

Forces him to get the hell away

or else: a fist fight

in the middle of the night.

He'd be arrested right away

If he'd chosen such a pathway

Though he considered it many times

Beating the hell out of those who step out of line

And then behave as victims:

I pay the rent so this is mine!

I don't want to hear you whine

I know your face, you cannot hide

My music will be your demise!

I work every day so now I'll have some fun

I'll never listen to you unless you have a gun!

That's how things are run in our Motherland

Love it by force or leave it if you can!

Am I bothering you? Please! Don't bother

I've never got a complain from any other —

freak like you who enjoys the silence.

I can't shut it up unless by violence!

Our people love it, so you must love it too

Eat me, you punk, as I have my noisy barbecue!
