UPDATE:
Here’s a version of “Capital” with subtitles – you may have to watch it full screen in order to read them:

I’ve kept the I believe higher quality Vimeo version below (tho if you click on 720p on the YouTube its pretty good, haven’t performed a closer inspection yet):
«Capital» Lyapis Trubetskoy from Alexey TEREHOFF on Vimeo.
surrealistic pop-art with a cynical view on world politics created in high energy frames for pop music channels. could the apocalypse be near? tried and tested technologies with deadly
composing and a pint of morphing for good measure.

LYRICS:
I eat for dinner golden bullions
Diamond dessert and oil cream
My name of Beelzebub
The master of the stratosphere
Im so gratefully cool my respects without measure
refrain:
In my left hand Snickers in my right hand Mars
My PR manager is Karl Marx
Capital! Capital! Capital! Capital!
I eat your cities and drink your oceans
My beard is obscuring the sky
Thunders and lightnings, fogs and rains
My shoes are licked by ministers and chiefs
refrain:
In my left hand Snickers in my right hand Mars
My PR manager is Karl Marx
Capital! Capital! Capital! Capital!
My face Madonna, in a rotten pear
Everyone on your knees!
The orchestra, flourish!
Capital! Capital! Capital! Capital!
It does capture a mood that’s abroad.
