lyrics

On 6-2-5-5-2-0-0-5
St. Petersburg Rob did arrive
Just won the big one, 34
All decorated with awards
Vladimir saw his hand glinting
And asked if he could see the ring
An honor that he hadn't planned
Robert placed it in his hand...

Vladimir smiled and closed his fist
Said I could kill someone with this
Surrounded by the KGB
Rob had no choice but to up and leave

He said get the President on the horn,
or Jimmy Bond, or Jason Bourne
Cause when he asked to have it back
Vlad said in Russian "kiss my ass"
When Rob got through to the White House
They said you oughta' shut your mouth
Say that you gave it as a gift
Cause it's in the nation's best interest...

Robert frowned and clenched his fist
I deserve a tax write off for this
Surrounded by the CIA
Robert had nothing to say

And finally eight years now have past
And we hear the story of Robert Kraft
He'd like to have his rock returned
But Vlad says it's the first he's heard

He truly gave it as a gift
A weird old man with a mind adrift
In another attempt to smear my name
In this international ball game...

about

The Corpos Stoughton, Massachusetts

The Corpos formed in Spring of 2012, as a lo-fi punk band named The Rip-Offs. An EP, "Mid-Atlantic Love Songs" was released under that name in Feb. 2013. In July of 2013 the band changed the name to The Corpos, a reference to Sinclair Lewis' "It Can't Happen Here". We released our first album under this new name in Oct. 2013. The band is currently working on it's 2014 Promo. ... more
