60 revolutions per minute
This is my regular speed
So how do you want me to live with it?
How do you want me to live with it?
Without ringing all alarms!
Without overthrowing czars!
Without emptying the bars!
Without screwing with your charts!

60 revelations per minute
This is my regular speed
So how do you want me to live with it?
How do you want me to live with it?
Without ringing all alarms!...

I'm gathering new generation
That's gonna stand up to it
To this karaoke dictatorship
Where posers and models with guitars
Boogie to the shit for beats
I make a better rock revolution
Alone with my dick!

60 por minuto es mi reputacion
Why no te estoy hablando de revolucion
Hare mucho teimpo q ya no te decian
Basta de injusticia, muerte why policia.

Digas lo que digas ya esta todo arregiado
Hagas lo que hagas te mandan deportado
El que tiene impone why sobre la ley dispone
Mientras que el pobre es pobre,
Muere de hambre why otro se la come

    General Comment:@ Hobo-Dragon -
    I don't understand how this is anti-green day! I hate it when people call them sell-outs and such, I don't understand how they are anything like that.. The reason they're popular is because they kept at it and they're a good band so they got noticed. I don't like that they're popular really, but they never changed morally after they got popular..
    I'm not asking for you to like them, I just don't know why everyone is hating on Green Day?

    I am both a Green Day and Gogol Bordello fan, and although they sound nothing alike, they both have their own unique sound, which is what I look for in a band :)
    Anyway, great song, probably my fave Gogol Bordello song... Love the 1st verse, very funny.

    General Comment:I'm pretty sure this is the way it's spoken in the song:


    60 por minuto es mi reputacion
    (60 per minute is my reputacion)
    Y no te estoy hablando de revolucion
    (And I'm not talkling about revolution)
    Hace mucho tiempo que yo no te decian
    (It's been a while since i told you)
    Basta de injusticia, muerte al policia
    (Stop the injustice, death to the police)

    Hace lo que digas, ya esta todo arreglado
    (Say what you say, everything's already fixed)
    Digas lo que digas y te mandan deportado
    (Do what you do and they have you deported)
    El que tiene impone y sobre la ley dispone
    (The one that has [the one that's rich] imposes himself on you and arranges the laws)
    Mientras que el pobre pobre pobre pobre
    (While the poor poor poor man)
    Muere de hambre y el otro se la come, y come
    (Dies of hunger and the other eats him)



    There's also a part that's not in here that says something like:

    Si lo mueve como lo bate que rico chocolate,
    No esperaras que por alguien me mate
    (if she moves it like she beats it: what good chocolate. don't expect me to kill myself for someone.) roughly, anyway...

    I love this song.

    General Comment:I'd rather say it's because there are 60 seconds in a minute, so that gives us a new revolution in every second of every minute - quite a lot, huh? But Gogol Bordello can surely do that

    General Comment:Obviously a general distaste towards music, with revolutionary politics mixed in - the 60 Revolutions refers, I believe, to the fact that the heart beats at 60 Beats Per Minute. Meaning that they make their music from the heart.

    General Comment:Clearly the song is about the globalization of empty calorie pop music, but what I'm curious about is why 60 rpm? It's obviously not a record player speed.

    General Comment:Yeah, Eugene's never been especially reluctant to express his thoughts on this subject. ;) These guys are the anti-thesis to the corporate-sponsored, canned mus-ak that's all over the place these days. I think they wrote this song just in case anyone missed this tiny, little detail.
