Russia's got no cash they're trading grain for gas
The ruble's in the dirt economy's trashed
It's the sanctions! It's the sanctions!
Europe cut 'em off no more Western wealth
Now they're swapping spuds for Hyunmoo-5
It's the sanctions! It's the sanctions!
Forget the dollar forget the yen
Trade a sack of wheat for a tank again
It's the sanctions!
China's playing quiet no help in sight
Now they're bartering hard just to stay in the fight!
It's the sanctions!
Barter for bread the empire's going bye-bye again
No cash no future-what went wrong?
Invade a peaceful neighbor and your economy's slain
We'll be raving on Putin's grave!
We thought they were a mighty force now they're scraping the floor
Trading grain for survival in yet another stupid war
It's the sanctions!
No more rubles no more pride
Bartering bullets there's nowhere to hide!
It's the sanctions!
