What a Pleasure
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. Or else…

What a Pleasure
(Boris Rybak-Const Makeev)
Verse 1
In the halls of power, where the shadows grow,
Promises are whispered, truths we’ll never know.
They paint a picture perfect, a world so bright and new,
But beneath the surface lies a darker hue.
Chorus
Inside Out, Upside Down
We gonna change the rules of the game
Key is found, (it’ll) Change all around
Say to all liars: it is your last day!
Verse 2
They claim to serve the people, to fight for what is right,
But behind closed doors, they wallow in their might.
They trade in fear and favor, in secrets bought and sold,
In the name of power, lies are often told.
Chorus
Inside Out, Upside Down
We gonna change the rules of the game
Key is found, (it’ll) Change all around
All liars beware: it is your last day!
Verse 3
Look at this flaccid cattle herd, driven to the war
Leaving all they loved once what’re all these victims for?
Their hatred twisted faces, most of them are long gone
Look, you filthy scumbag liars, what have you done!
Verse 4
So, here’s to truth seekers, in a world of deceit,
May your voices be heard, on every street.
For in the face of lies, let truth be our guide,
In the world of liars, let truth turn the tide.
Chorus
Inside Out, Upside Down
We gonna change the rules of the game
Key is found, (it’ll) Change all around
Say to all liars: it is your last day!
Verse 5
What a pleasure beyond any measure doing something right
Give the people a glimpse of hope, to give them will to fight!
For in the face of lies, we must take a stand,
For truth and justice, across our land
For in the face of lies, we must take a stand,
For truth and justice, across our land
Kill the old filthy dragon, set all people free.
