The band, and especially its leader, Shnurov, has long been famous for its catchy beats and irrepressibly bad language, somehow managing to be one of the top bands in Russia despite almost never being clean enough to earn radio play and despite its live concerts being banned in Moscow.
In 2008 Leningrad disbanded. Its former members run Рубль and Spitfire. The band reunited in 2010.

И пакет к нему купил.
Надышавшись этой дури,
Музыку я полюбил.
Где же вы родители?
Куда же смотрит школа?
Так я стал звездою
Зипа-трипер пистолет,
Мы играем с семи лет!
Зипа-трипер пистолет,
Мы играем с семи лет!
Одноклассницу-девченку
К себе в гости пригласил.
Папа с мамой на работе,
А мы ебемся, что есть сил.
Где же вы родители?
Куда же смотрит школа?
Так я стал звездою
Рок-н-рола!
Зипа-трипер пистолет,
Мы играем с семи лет!

The lyrics of Ленинград's song Zvezda Rok-N-Rolla tell a tale of a young boy who falls in love with rock and roll music after inhaling the fumes of "Moment" glue. The boy's parents and school are absent and unaware of his downward spiral towards becoming addicted to the substance and engaging in sexual activity with his female classmate when they are left unsupervised. The boy revels in being a "star of rock and roll" and boasts about playing with his "zipa-triper pistol" since he was seven years old. The lyrics exude a sense of rebellion and lack of adult supervision as the boy delves deeper into his addiction and sexual escapades.
The narrative suggests the dangers of neglected children and the reckless behavior that can ensue due to lack of parental guidance and neglectful schools. The song can be interpreted as a social commentary on the cracks within the societal safety net that fail to protect vulnerable youth from the dangers of addiction and sexual exploitation. The lyrics also touch upon the allure of rock and roll music and its potential for addiction and escapism.

My own attempt at an English translation. (Thank you to previous posters, you helped me a lot. :) I focused more on meaning and attitude rather than exact translation.) PART 1: Bought "Moment" glue for a ruble, And a bag to go along. After huffing on this shit, I fell in love with music. Well, where are you, parents? Which way are the schools looking? That's how I became a rock 'n' roll star. Zippo, gonorrhea, gun, We've been playing since we were 7 (x2)
