Lyrics & Translation
The more the offense makes sense
Legalize what isn't a crime
Reprimand the lack of education
Pregnancy versus abortion
Who wants to be born in the Dead Sea?
Who wants to die before conception?
No, thank you
No, thank you
No, thank you
No, thank you
Separate the wheat from the chaff
The Machiavelli of your friend
Gay marriage beyond an option
Is population control
The military dictatorship is gone
Sickle and hammer won't thrive anymore
Serve in the army only if it's for salvation
No, thank you
No, thank you
No, thank you
No, thank you
Tchu-tchu, ru-ru
Tchu-tchu-tchu-tchu
Tchu-tchu, ru-ru
Tchu-tchu-tchu-tchu
Say no to drugs
But be polite, say: no, thank you!
Why whisky yes? Why cannabis no?
Be careful with the police, be careful with the thief
Don't be condemned to vote for a fraud
No, thank you
No, thank you
No, thank you
No, thank you
Tchu-tchu, ru-ru
Tchu-tchu-tchu-tchu
Tchu-tchu, ru-ru
No, thank you
No, thank you
No, thank you
No, thank you
