Lyrics for Everything's As It Should Be (1989)
Here’s everything that has been
It didn’t exist nor does it now
All of the layers are soaked
All of the words have burned
Everything’s as it should be1
In worn out boots
Years and cigarette buds
In worn out pockets
Passports and fingers
Everything’s as it should be
Sprightly wheels
Durable buildings
New decrees
Brotherly graves
Everything’s as it should be
Here’s everything that has been
It didn’t exist nor does it now
Correct and clear
Awesome and forever
Everything’s as it should be
This song was featured on the episode Yegor Letov and the National Bolsheviks

Idiomatic expression. The literal translation would be “everything is like what others have” ↩︎
