"About Belarus: When the opposition was working the hardest, I wrote a song, called Do A Ceausescu. I submit the text here. And you can hear the audio too (below). Consider this a song for the streets, like old songs from the Spanish Civil War! "  - Ingvar Loco Nordin

Audio recording:


I see them marching every Sunday
for a democracy so lost
I watch them massing down the highway
against the one they hate the most

Why don't they do a ceausescu,
why don't they simply bring him on
Why don't they do a ceausescu
make sure the fucker will be gone

They're brought down claiming civil rights,
raising they're voices in the street
They bleed in cop-shops in the nights
but they refuse a forced defeat

Why don't they do a ceausescu
and throw him up against the wall
Why don't they do a ceausescu
just gun him down and watch him fall

Reporters thrown across the border
Nobel Prize winner hiding out
President heads the fascist order
they fight him, go for ten and out

Why don't they do a ceausescu
Why don't they mass around his face
Why don't they do a ceausescu
Why don't they simply close his case

The fucker's fearing for his life now
betrays the country's population
faking elections and his vow now
does anything in desperation

Why don't they do a ceausescu
as people did in eighty-nine
Why don't they do a ceausescu
at gunpoint surely would be fine
 
He crept to Vladimir to bow now
Pure hate is rising from each city
His end will certainly approach now
No one will feel the slightest pity

Why don't they do a ceausescu
and tear his portrait off the wall
Why don't they do a ceausescu
His body big, his mind so small
