Moscow ( /ˈmɒskaʊ/ or /ˈmɒskoʊ/; Russian: Москва́, tr. Moskva; IPA: [mɐˈskva] ( listen)) is the capital and the most populous federal subject of Russia. The city is a major political, economic, cultural and scientific center of Russia and the continent. Moscow is the northernmost megacity on Earth, the most populous city in Europe, and the 6th largest city proper in the world.

Moscow is situated on the Moskva River in the Central Federal District of European Russia. In the course of its history the city has served as the capital of a progression of states, from the medieval Grand Duchy of Moscow and the subsequent Tsardom of Russia to the Soviet Union. Moscow is the site of the Moscow Kremlin, an ancient fortress that is today the residence of the Russian President and of the executive branch of the Government of Russia. The Kremlin is also one of several World Heritage Sites in the city. Both chambers of the Russian parliament (the State Duma and the Federation Council) also sit in Moscow.
Play me the empty space behind my eyes
They're yelling and screaming
But all I keep hearing is blah, blah, blah, blah
They're talking about the girls and boys making too much noise
And the problems to solve them but it doesn't involve them
I thought about this too much and it's clear that it's unclear
Unless you believe them, believe them and
I won't do it
It's alright it's a stereotype
And I don't mind if you use it
It's alright you can say what you like
Just don't mock the music
Blame me but you're nothing impressive at all
I'm happy to smile I'm happy to nod
If you're happy with making it up
They're talking about the girls and boys making too much noise
Through the playgrounds and backgrounds
And speeding through small towns
I thought about this today and it's strange
But it came to me as I was leaving believing
I won't do it
It's alright it's a stereotype
And I don't mind if you use it
It's alright you can say what you like
Just don't mock the music
The ropes were all tangled
And the battle lines drawn
And I've marked off my space in the room you can't cross
I wanted to be different
But he's always been the same
And I can't, no I can't try and win this for you
