Roaring 2020s (RenaiDance) – Gogol Bordello

Pa la la la, pa la la la la
Pa la la la la la la la la la lai la
Woo, opa

We never knew the Spanish flu
Of 1919
But what we know not so far off and we are ready for payoff
For the roaring 2020s to begin

If the history
Repeats itself precisely, you won’t have to be
Casualty
Of disinfo World War Three

You just have to figure out your way to whistle through this
Whistle through the missiles, duck but keep your stance
You just have to figure out your way to wiggle all the way
To the RenaiDance, the roaring 2020s

Oh yeah, Rena-na-naiDance
The roaring 2020s, oh yeah

And like a salmon up the stream, you work your fin, I work my fin
To the high hopes of blessed cretin
And like a Hodja Nasreddin inside a crêpe de Chine machine
News cartel takes you for a spin

And there is still a little chance, a tiny, tiny little chance
Things are just like what they seem
And are you ready, I am ready, are you ready? Waxed and ready
For the roaring 2020s to kick in

If the history
Repeats itself precisely, you won’t have to be
Casualty
Of disinfo World War Three

You just have to figure out your way to whistle through this
Whistle through the missiles, duck but keep your stance
You just have to figure out your way to wiggle all the way
To the RenaiDance, the roaring 2020s

Oh yeah
The roaring 2020s, oh yeah
The roaring 2020s

But if you can keep that beat inside your head
When everyone is losing theirs from what they heard or read
If you keep on stomping grapes of resilience
Hey brother, sister, we gonna need you when it comes to the RenaiDance

The roaring 2020s, oh yeah
Motherfucker RenaiDance

Hey
Who’s the bootleggers and the floppers of today?
More casualty
Of disinfo World War Three

The roaring 2020s, oh yeah
The roaring 2020s
The roaring 2020, 2020 roaring RenaiDance

Pa la la la, pa la la la la
Pa la la la la la la la la la lai la
Woo, opa
Pa la la lai

And are you ready, I am ready, are you ready? Waxed and ready
For the roaring 2020s to begin
