Zabranjeno Pushenje – Necu da budem Svabo u dotiranom filmu
The No Smoking Orchestra – I will not be a Kraut in a subsidized film(1984)
Boris T. Ćorović
Yugoslav Punk Song 1984
Lyrics:
A famous director is in our city,
Shooting a new film, they say it’ll be good.
Foreign actors, parties and money,
No doubt he’ll take an Oscar.
He’ll also need a lot of extras
For epic and grandiose scenes.
Even if they’re saying that he pays well,
There will not, will not be me.
I will not be a Kraut, in a subsidized film,
I will not be an extra, in life and in the cinema.
I will not be a Kraut, a Kraut I will not be.
There is no God!
A famous director is in our city,
Shooting a new film, they say it’ll be good.
Foreign actors, parties and money,
No doubt he’ll take an Oscar.
He’ll also need a lot of extras
For epic and grandiose scenes.
Even if they’re saying that he pays well,
There will not, will not be me.
I don’t want to be an occupier,
There’s some devil in my psyche.
I will not be a Kraut,
When I can’t be Prle or Tihi.
I will not be a Kraut, a Kraut I will not be.
Leading actors would want to be on the right side,
Me be a Kraut, and them the Partisans?
Boris T. Ćorović
