    How about a protrest song, from the perspective of the Russian people,
    against Vlad the Putinator's war on Ukraine??

    (based on a vietnam war protest song by Country Joe McDonald)

    Yeah, come on all of you, big strong men
    Putinator needs your help again
    He's got himself in a terrible jam
    Way down yonder in Kyiv Ukraine
    So put down your books, pick up a gun
    Gonna have a whole lot of fun

    And it's 1, 2, 3
    What are you fighting for?
    It don't matter if you don't give a damn
    Next stop is Kyiv Ukraine
    And it's 5, 6, 7
    Open up the pearly gates
    Ah, ain't no time to wonder why
    Whoopee!
    We're all going to die

    Well come on generals let's move fast
    Your big chance has come at last
    Gotta go out, and act act like 'reds'
    And make them puppets or make them dead
    And you know that peace could only be won
    When we've blown the world to kingdom come

    And it's 1, 2, 3
    What are you fighting for?
    It don't matter if you don't give a damn
    Next stop is Kyiv Ukraine
    And it's 5, 6, 7
    Open up the pearly gates
    Ah, ain't no time to wonder why
    Whoopee!
    We're all going to die

    Well come on Oligarchs don't move slow
    Why man, this is war-a-go-go
    There's plenty good money to be made
    By controlling the oil until they all cave
    Just hope and pray that their government falls
    Or Vlad will use the bomb, nuke us all to hell

    And it's 1, 2, 3
    What are you fighting for?
    It don't matter if you don't give a damn
    Next stop is Kyiv Ukraine
    And it's 5, 6, 7
    Open up the pearly gates
    Ah, ain't no time to wonder why
    Whoopee!
    We're all going to die
