Viewing Lyrics for Time Zones:
| | | Artist: | Negativland |
| | Album: | Escape From Noise | | Track: | Time Zones | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 4 | | | | Lyrics: | The Autonomous Commie Republic, which is part of the Russian
Federation, is situated in the far
northwest of Europe, and spreads up to
the Arctic part of the Ural Mountains. It's crossed by 9
northern
parallels. Ten fair-sized European states could be placed on its
territory.
Besides indigenous residents (that is, the Commie people), there
are also Russians, Ukranians,
Nenetzes, Tchubashis, and Tartars.
And now, let's go back into history a little bit.
(CLICK)
A boil lying on skins behind our backs was turning the knobs of a
small
transistor radio.
(".....making efforts to use radios as vehicles of the
psychological
warfare. A subversive....")
And the tent was suddenly filled with an announcer's voice
speaking Commie.
(Jane Jane Jane....)
Then, with music from Moscow, followed by English
and French speech.
("The recording was made at the Moscow Theatre of Musical
Miniatures.")
Now, back to modern times.

"and, uh ..."
"Do you
know how many time zones there are in the Soviet Union?"
"and about power ..."
"d'you
kn--"
"we got so much power now ..."
"Do you know how many time zones there are in the
Soviet Union?"
"we got so much power now, that's ridiculous."
"d'you kn-- do you know how
many time zones there are in the Soviet Union?"
"power, and all that, that's power, we got so
much power, that's
ridiculous."
"We have--"
"power, power, power, power, power,
power now, it's ridiculous. We
got so much power now ..."
"Do you know how many time
zones there are in the Soviet Union?"
"It's not even funny."
"D'you--"
"That's
ridiculous."
"Do you know how many--"
"It's not even funny."
"D'you
kn--"
"That's ridiculous."
"Do you know how many--"
"That's, that's
ridiculous."
"Do you know how many time--"
"That's ridiculous. It's not even
funny."
"D'you--"
"It's not even funny."
"D--"
"It's not even funny."
"Do
you know how many time zones there are in the Soviet Union?"
"It's not even funny. How many
time zones?"
"Yeah. We have, we have four in this country, right?" (Hello?)
"How many
time zones?"
"Yeah." (Hello? Yes.)
"1, 2, 3 ..."
"Four in this country,
right?"
"Uh, yessir."
"Mm hm."
"Uh, four ... 1, 2, 3 ...
yessir."
"Right."
"1, 2, 3 ... yessir."
"Mm hm." ("....radio station, Radio
Moscow")
"Uh, four ... time zones?"
"Yeah. We have four in this country,
right?"
"Uh, nosir."
"We have, we have--"
"Uh, yessir."
"Mm hm."
"And,
uh ..."
"Do you know how many time zones they have?"
"Uh, yessir. Uh, four ... uh, nosir.
I never really studied that up."
"Eleven."
"Eleven. It's not even
funny."
"Eleven."
"Eleven. That's, that's ridiculous."
"Eleven."
"Eleven.
Well, that's what we can do. We can go anywhere, because
we live here, we--"
"Yeah,
but--"
"--anywhere else."
"But, not only, not only the right of free travel, I'm
saying...eleven."
"Eleven. 1, 2, 3 ... yessir."
"Mm hm.
Eleven."
"Eleven."
"That's how big they are."
"Yeah. Yeah. Eleven." (What
happened to my call?)
"That's how big they are."
"Yeah. Yeah. I, I can believe that, I'm
a firm believer in that."
"Alright."
"1, 2, 3 ... uh, four ... yessir. 1, 2 ... yessir.
Yessir."
"Mm hm." (....Radio Moscow, 215 2101)
"The Soviet Union's the whole half
side of the world."
"Yeah."
"And we're just a little, one little tenth of the
globe."
"Yeah."
"They, uh, when you talk about fightin', we're a country that, uh,
we're a firm believer on pride, and it's called help thy neighbor,
do not kill, do
not, you know, steal, cheat, lie from everybody.
That's why we have to have computers, because
man, nobody is perfect.
You know."
"Mm hm."
"It's not even
funny."
"D'you--"
"and about power, man, nobody is perfect. You know."
"So what is
your point?"
"Nobody is perfect. You know."
"So what is your point,
Glen?"
"There's, there's, there's two things you don't talk about, one's
politics, the
other one's religion.
"D'you--"
"The reason you don't talk about 'em is because they
combine in
each other. You know what I'm saying?"
"Do you know how many time zones there
are in the Soviet Union?"
"You know what I'm saying?"
"Don't you kid yourself. Thanks,
Glen, for the uh... well, just thanks for
the, the good thoughts."
