Biography:
Combining elements of punk, gypsy music, and Brechtian cabaret, Gogol Bordello tells the story of New York's immigrant diaspora through debauchery, humor, and surreal costumes. Leader and singer Eugene Hütz's taste in music was spun out of black-market tapes of the The Birthday Party and Einstürzende Neubauten in his native Ukraine.
After being evacuated to Western Ukraine in 1986 following the Chernobyl disaster, Hütz became enamored of the mystical, outsider qualities of gypsy music.

Bm G
I came back to my hometown incognito
Em A
To forget about it all
Bm G
Suddenly, I heard "hey there papito-pito-pito
Em A
You don't ever give a call'
Bm - G - Em - A
Wapa papa... (X 4)
Bm G
remember we used to skip school together
Em A
said to me drunk girl police man
Bm G
Now, where have you been all my life
Bm A
I've been skipping school since then, yeah
(chorus)
D G
I've been watching trains
Em A
swiftly rolling by
D G
I've been jumping them
Em A
without long goodbyes
D G
to uncover rules of life
Em A
and how to break them well
Bm G
and the key to my gypsy auto pilot
Em A
and my story to tell, hey!
Wapa, papa... (X 4)
Bm G
so we ran to outskirts of our town
Em A
to the working man dance hall
Bm G
where all night we played piano-iano-iano
Em A
off the chairs about to fall
Bm G
then we climbed the ladder to the attic
Bm A
where once i showed her my first song
Bm G
above the street where all them crazy dreamers
Em A
still talking nonsense all night long
Em Bm
Wo-o-o Wo-o-o
Em Bm A|-2-4-5-4-2-|
nonsense all night long
Em Bm
Wo-o-o Wo-o-o
A F#
still writing their first song
(chorus)
Bm - G - Em - A
C#5 A5
and we laugh, and we cry
F#5 B5
and we recited sacred text
C#5 A5
and we rose and we fell
F#5 B5
and then we said, ok what's next?
D G
but, if you keep on watching trains
Em A
swiftly, rolling by
D G
one day you will be gone
Em A
without long goodbyes
D A
to uncover rules oflife
Em A
and how to break them well
D G
and the key to your gonzo turbo gypsy auto pilot
Em G
and your story to tell
Bm
story to tell
I came back to my hometown incognito
