Pussy Riot & Dave Sitek - Bad Apples (Official Music Video)

Hope you are not going to like this track, since it's dedicated to really disgusting things. We demand immediate criminal justice reform. We demand firing of corrupted cops and high-level officials.
We're sort of confused about the fact that the most of songs we hear are circling around romantic feelings and friday parties, although only rare tracks are dedicated to not less important topics such as a) climate change, b) gun control, c) arrests of political activists, d) structural inequality e) sexism f) killer cops, brutality and abuse of power that state institutions commit on a daily basis g) urgent need of good-quality accessible healthcare and education.
Mediazona, our activist media agency, posts news that you'd rather not read - endless criminal cases for reposts and for participation in rallies, brutal tortures of our fellow activists in secret FSB prisons, kidnapping and beatings of gay people in Chechnya, murders of Kremlin's opponents. State violence that we're forced to experience and think about every day. That's why almost all our our tracks are about bad apples.

Pussy Riot + Dave Sitek “Bad Apples” lyrics:
you thought that i just made this for the club / no way
i got this microphone to wake you up / and say
that i can do just what i want right here / today
and i don’t hear those sirens anyway / ok
damn fools
drunk on power
dirty thieves, tiny cowards
you wouldn’t act like this in front of your kids / NO !
you wouldn’t act like this in front of your kids / NO !
you say that you don’t like my attitude / it’s true
i made its just for me and not for you / boo hoo
you can cry until your face turns blue / you knew
that i would be the one to watch you lose / woo hoo
your back's against the wall what will you do? doo doo
i would join our gang if i were you / oo oo
we always stick together like a glue / it's true
there are many more of us than you
damn fools
drunk on power
dirty thieves, tiny cowards
you wouldn’t act like this in front of your kids / NO !
you wouldn’t act like this in front of your kids / NO !
bad apples are good for something
when're 6 feet underground x2
killer cops - lock em up
the death machine - just lock it up
all this violence - lock it up
the rest of us have had enough
hatred - lock it up
populism - lock it up
fuck corruption - lock it up
enough
bad apples are good for something
when're 6 feet underground x2
no! don’t need no bad apples
no! won’t eat those bad apples
Anyone can be Pussy Riot.

Isn't it "I would drop your gun if I were you"?

[@Celatreee]

ive also been a fan of your activism since i heard about you guys storming the cathedral to protest the love affair of the church and state. Keep inspiring keep up the fight

[@sfdungeon]

Thank You for your dedication to expose even though your risks are great. XXOO

Keep the rebellion alive! Your music is powerful

[@juanfigueroa4989]

I am not a follower, but Utopia brought me here.

[@shimaalcarrim7949]

That ending to this song was sick

[@brettalizer3271]

Good stuff keep making great music and standing up to tyrannical madmen. Won't be long till the comments get swarmed with putins trolls I would think.

[@brettalizer3271]

Alright we take off and nuke the site from orbit it's the only way to be sure....

[@jennifermeeker]

You guys are the BEST and you are everything to me now 🤘✌️
Thank you sooooo much for coming to town - your work is sooooo important. Count me as your biggest fan and thanks for providing comfort to every woman in USA paying attention 💖💕

[@TheCheesecakedeath]

This is keeping me sane right now ❤️

[@patriziavanazzi1710]

[@bogdanbalandyuk268]

I liked music, a weird clip, charming Tolokonnikova - in general a good job

[@jaimeniddrie]

So much love for Pussy Riot

[@rakhau5852]

Superb.

[@timberlampshire5785]

I love how headstrong you girls are and how u never give up. If I'm being truly honest the more I watch your music videos the more I'm motivated to go to Russia and support the activists that you guys stand for. If I had the money I'd go right now because there's no better feeling than standing up for something right

[@18_rabbit]

great sentiment, but to do that takes some very very Very serious planning, even a month ago, before the maaaasive attack. The way to have supported these values, principles, & still now, is to join pro justice/democracy org's or give money to same in those two countries, or in your own country, since it's actually the same thing in fact, e.g. right now in the USofA. So yeah, the time ...really is now. Soon or never, probably---this is the biggest threat to the world since the 1936-1945 period, for real, i can say since i studied under some of maybe 50 best minds in int'l politics in the U.S.

[@valeriapulido5315]

love it!

[@maryjanevidales3042]

Love From Cali💨

[@joescissorhands141]

"You wouldn't act like this in front of your kids"--- awesome line, and true in MOST cases, but am guessing whether you still see things so charitably today :/ (Actually your lyrics in a more recent song speak directly of a father "doing dirty" for his son so this is really more of a rhetorical observation, if only because most of my life I would've thought it were a "universally true" thing and had to realize it definitely is not :/ )
Thanks for all the outstanding, talented & intellectually (and *literally*) courageous content Pussy Riot has&is putting out, Plastic is sooo on-point I wish I heard it when I was still a teen!!!

[@RichardPriceElliott]

Good job.

[@Forget1987]

Hey this good tune

[@user-ms6sl8nz9f]

Круто получилось, эстетично

[@ptonpc]

This one seems more appropriate than ever.

[@user-pu7yj4yq4l]

Вот это искусство!

[@zeman7394]

Великое искусство.

[@avabeyva]

Being American myself, this speaks volumes on what we're struggling with here too. Regarding the shit both Russians and us minority Americans are facing, I think it's fair game to say we face a similar enemy. No Justice No Peace on both stretches of the world.
Edit(10/25/21): I'm Black/Asian, let alone Queer and Trans.
For centuries, people like me have been socially and systemically oppressed. The fact that you indulge in this song, but then gaslight the fact people here have been discriminated against and profiled for so long is a reflection of your privilege. There's self pity, and there's being called slurs throughout your life, having to build finance from the ground up because your descendant's didn't get profound financial support, and fear of being hate crimed. Don't you dare imply my obstacles are invisible, or imply we've been too lazy to tackle them. You're the issue, not us.

[@bongobob7079]

Oh yes you are so opressed arent you. Why not stop feeling self pity and be scared of invisible make believe enemies and get a life. You are the issue not your country.

[@peterscotney1]

Biden n the Democrats are the worst bad apples ever !

[@peterscotney1]

Biden and the Democrats...now there's your biggest bunch of bad apples

Да интересная женщина эта Толоконникова. Одна из немногих кто не прославляет то что между ног, но ищет правду.

[@beadetrog7777]

You are a really important symbol as rebels against dictator putin.Great that one of you escaped Ruia to let her voice sound against the warcrimes in Ukraine.Love you people!Keep it up!

[@rokky6931]

Nope - at least one is complaining over the lack of subtitles :-/
