Push to Play

Boris Rybak’s “Immigration” The Burlesque Synopsis 2010 or 11 (or maybe 2024 or 25). The global financial crisis (or maybe the pandemic or war in Europe) is fading away. Life is coming back to normal. People around the globe are starting to travel again, enjoy life, and dream about a better future. Even in countries that hardly could be described as prosperous or well-developed. Three young dudes live on different sides of the globe. One is a young guy from India, Raj Aggrawal, another is a young lady from Honduras, Jasmin Lopez, and the third is a boy from Russia, Kolya Makeev. All of them are in their early twenties, living on a tight budget and all are computer geniuses of some kind.… All of a sudden… they all apply to, and win the US Green Card lottery. Three innocent and naïve emigrants prepare to go to the US. After receiving their green cards, they each move to Miami. In Miami, they meet an American guy, Kevin Roster, who is an activist helping immigrants to adapt to local realities. He helps these three new immigrants to find a job in the newly opened Miami Face Book /Meta office. This eager group, aka Group of Three (GOT) works day and night on jobs assigned to them by FB and their own ideas as well. Very soon they develop “Lie and Scum Detector” (LSD), a gadget that detects … you know what. This project becomes known to the scientific and the IT community, as well as to immigrant circles in Miami, including those closely connected to mafias and mobs and the intelligence services of all imaginable countries – Mosad, 国安部Guó’ānbù, GRU, CIA, سپاه پاسداران انقلاب اسلامی, FBI, to name a few of the most scary. Sinister things start to happen around our heroes. GOT try to escape and they get lost in the largest US city, NYC. But in New York Kolya almost immediately meets Russian UN rep Sergey Lavrin, who explains to him what a real patriot should do and urges him to come back to Russia.

Chorus But I am sure of only one thing, only this thing, oh yeah! No matter what would happen in between, it does not matter How it would be seen, what would happen in between Between now and then, between us and them, Between heaven and hell, oh yeh I will always be with you – just push (it) to “play” Verse 3 The world is hanging by a thread, oh no Everybody’s shining their warheads Wonder what happened to making love instead? Politicians drunk with their power Doomsday clock’s chiming the midnight hour Guess I’m better off in my ivory tower. Verse 4 When it all feels unbearable And the damage looks unrepairable The sound of sweet music soothes my soul I strum the strings of my guitar And all the chaos seems so far Things that felt so big now seem so small Chorus I am sure of only one thing, only this thing, oh yeh No matter what would happen in between, it does not matter, How it would be seen, what would happen in between Between now and then, between us and them, Between heaven and hell, oh yeh I will always be with you – just push (it) to “play” Verse 5 Listen to the heroes of old times Those who stood against everyday grime They burned bright to light our way They instilled courage in the masses And they looked cool in their sunglasses Though they all had a price to pay Verse 6 We can still hear them in their songs An Inspiration to keep on keeping on Live to see another brighter day Don’t cry for me when I expire Play my music and keep up the fire To cast away the crawling Grey Chorus I am sure of only one thing, only this thing, oh yeh No matter what would happen in between, it does not matter, How it would be seen, what would happen in between Between now and then, between us and them, Between heaven and hell, oh yeh I will always be with you – just push (it) to “play” *****
