Not a Crime Lyrics

Cover art for Not a Crime lyrics by Gogol Bordello

It was illigal in the USSR not to have a job. Gypsies were often prosecuted for this reason. This is what "Sitting and dangling my foot Without desire to work" russian part refers to.

I guess the song is more about the mordern state imposing laws that limit human freedom (drugs,sex,etc.) -

No cant do this, No cant do that, What the hell can you do my friend? In this place that you call your town.
