GLONASS (Russian: ГЛОНАСС; IPA: [ɡlɐˈnas] - Глобальная Навигационная Спутниковая Система), acronym for Globalnaya Navigatsionnaya Sputnikovaya Sistema or Global Navigation Satellite System, is a radio-based satellite navigation system operated for the Russian government by the Russian Aerospace Defence Forces. It both complements and provides an alternative to the United States' Global Positioning System (GPS) and is currently the only alternative navigational system in operation with global coverage and of comparable precision.
Development of GLONASS began in the Soviet Union in 1976. Beginning on 12 October 1982, numerous rocket launches added satellites to the system until the "constellation" was completed in 1995. In the 2000s (decade), under Vladimir Putin's presidency, the restoration of the system was made a top government priority and funding was substantially increased. GLONASS is currently the most expensive program of the Russian Federal Space Agency, consuming a third of its budget in 2010.
I took my time
But there was nothing I could ever find
Exept the curse in my mind
You know that I
Yeah I do better alone
So let me try
Come on, come on, come on
Oh no,can'tyou see?
Oh No!
It pulls you down,I know
I've got to move, but it's too slow
Ain't gotno eyes
'Cause there is nothing to see
Ain't got no rights
While you are punishing me
Oh the night I hear them laughing at me
Yeah in the night i hear them laughing at me
And so, I see it's falling down tonight
And so I put it all aside
The more I do the less you try
But we don't fit at all
Around and 'round
I hardly lied
When I said it was me
It fells apart
And then it came back to me
Oh in the night I hear them laughing at me
Oh in the night I hear them laughing at me
