“We came from the underground and became popular with our pop-culture parodies. One day to my horror I realized that our group has become similar to the objects of our parodies and mockery. We were starting to merge with all those pop-star crowd, but I’m not one of them and never wanted to be,” - Sergey Mikhalok, the band’s leader says. He admits that it wasn’t so easy to give up the show business game and become independent once again.
According to him, “it was very difficult to get our true essence back on top. And the thing wasn’t about any contracts. We had to overcome public opinion and, most importantly, set our own minds free. At first, my internal discomfort from the gap between the authentic “Lyapis Trubetskoy” and its public image was relieved by hard drinking and other stuff, but when my weight peaked at 110 kilograms and my mind was about to collapse, I gave up everything, lost 25 kilograms and started to play the music I like.”
“Capital” is the second independent album by “Lyapis Trubetskoy” after the “Zoloty’ye yaytsy” (“Golden Balls”) created in 2004 under heavy reggae and ska influence. “While working on “Zoloty’ye yaytsy” we didn’t understand what to do with our independence. As a result there were some reflex attempts to score a radio hit with “Rain’ka” or “Pochtal’iony” (“Postmen”), - Sergey Mikhalok says. – But this wasn’t the biggest problem. The whole album was overproduced, we tried to mix too many styles, musical instruments and sounds in it. So, we paid too much attention to the form instead of the essence. We were in need of a real professional who could tell us what was good and what was too much.”
That is why searching for a sound producer was one of the main tasks while working on “Capital”. At some point the band wanted to record their album in London, in the hometown the legendary British ska-band “Madness” (one of Mihalok’s favourites). When almost everything was ready for that, a chance interfered. At a concert in Kiev “Lyapis Trubetskoy” met a famous Ukrainian sound producer Vitaliy Telezin. He worked with “Okean El’zi”, “Brat’ia Grim” and other top Ukrainian/Russian artists. But it wasn’t the thing that attracted Mikhalok and his friends.
“We are from the same generation with him, we had common world outlook, we liked the same music. And it was the music we wanted to record on our new album. I don’t want to offend anyone, but, roughly speaking, for our band he is the first studio guy who didn’t need explanations about what is California wave or how “Green Day” and “Offspring” make their sound,” - Mikhalok says.
And this combination has worked perfectly well. Now it’s already clear that the new album will mean to the band and its fans no less than the legendary “Ty kinula” (“You Gave Me Up”) in 1998 and will give a rise to the new popularity wave for “Lyapis Trubetskoy”. Still, according to Sergey Mikhalok, the ideology of both the new album and the present group is different from what used to be in the years between these two landmarks. He says: “When I started my career I used to write songs that changed me and the world around me, but later I began to create stuff, that didn’t have influence either on me or the world around. At best those songs could be a soundtrack for some wedding or birthday. And what is horrible at some point I even used to be proud of that. But now I have come back to what everything started from – to a mix of biting satire and powerful chords.”
Video clips have played an important role in the album presentation. The first clip for the song “Hare” (“Enough”), a cheerful wedding trash-video, was filmed by a famous actor and new wave director Vladimir Epifantsev. The second clip, animation video “Capital”, which has become a real Internet sensation, was made by Aleksey Terekhov, co-author of the legendary “Au” (1998) and “Rozochka” (1999) videos. "Capital" has hardly appeared on TV, but has already won several prizes and got a lot of nominations on the different video & music festivals in Russia, Belarus, Portugal and so on.
Frontman Siarhei Mikhalok anounced mid-March 2014 that the group would ceased to exist the next 1 September.

Ляпис Трубецкой Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Бриллиантовый десерт, нефтяные сливки
Мне имя Вельзевул - хозяин стратосферы
Я нереальный кул - мой респект без меры
В левой руке - "Сникерс", в правой руке - "Марс"
Мой пиар-менеджер - Карл Маркс
В левой руке - "Сникерс", в правой руке - "Марс"
Капитал! Капитал! Капитал! Капитал!
Я ем города, морями запиваю
Моя борода небо заслоняет
Гром и молнии, туманы и дожди
Мои ботинки лижут министры и вожди
В левой руке - "Сникерс", в правой руке - "Марс"
Мой пиар-менеджер - Карл Маркс
В левой руке - "Сникерс", в правой руке - "Марс"
Мой пиар-менеджер - Карл Маркс
Капитал! Капитал! Капитал! Капитал!
В левой руке - "Сникерс", в правой руке - "Марс"
Мой пиар-менеджер - Карл Маркс
Мое лицо - Мадонна, внутри из тухлых груш
Все на колени! Оркестр, туш!
Капитал! Капитал! Капитал! Капитал!
Капитал! Капитал! Капитал! Капитал!
The lyrics of Ляпис Трубецкой's song "Capital" convey a satirical perspective on the excessive wealth and power of the capitalist class. The singer portrays themselves as an incredibly wealthy individual who consumes gold bars for lunch, indulges in diamond desserts and oil cream. They identify themselves as Beelzebub, the ruler of the stratosphere, emphasizing their superiority and dominance. The lyrics further stress their unreal coolness, demanding respect beyond measure.
The imagery used in the song continues with the juxtaposition of luxury and power symbols. The singer holds a Snickers chocolate bar in one hand and a Mars chocolate bar in the other, which may represent the contrast between consumerism and the capitalist system. They humorously suggest that their PR manager is Karl Marx, perhaps commenting on the irony of a capitalist entity using a socialist figure for image management. The repetition of "Capital" in the chorus emphasizes the central theme of the song, echoing the pursuit and glorification of wealth and power.
The second verse continues with the theme of consumption and domination. The singer claims to eat cities and wash them down with seas, while their beard covers the sky. They portray themselves as an unstoppable force, commanding thunder, lightning, fog, and rain. Ministers and leaders are depicted as subservient to the singer, even licking their boots.
Overall, "Capital" is a biting critique of the excesses and unchecked power of capitalism. It brings attention to the absurdity of wealth accumulation and the manipulation of the system by those in power. Through its satirical lyrics, the song prompts reflection on the consequences of unchecked greed and the distorted priorities of society.

Я тут недавно наткнулся на стих Демьяна Бедного с одноименным названием и кажется между этой песней и этим стихом есть некоторое сходство... Вот сам стих.
Капитал
Любуясь дивною картиной,
Рабы, склонитесь предо мной!
Своей стальною паутиной
Опутал я весь шар земной.
Я - воплощенье капитала.
Я - повелитель мировой.
Волшебный блеск и звон металла -
Мой взгляд и голос властный мой.
Тускнеют царские короны,
Когда надену я свою.
Одной рукой ломая троны,
Другой - я троны создаю.
Моя рука чертит законы
И отменяет их она.
Мне все "отечества" загоны,
Где скот - людские племена.
Хочу - пасу стада в долинах,
Хочу - на бойню их гоню.
Мой взмах - и области в руинах,
И храмы преданы" огню.
Средь всех твердынь моя твердыня
Стоит незыблемой скалой.
Храм биржевой - моя святыня,
Конторский стол - мой аналой.
Мое евангелье - балансы,
Богослужение - "игра",
Дары священные - финансы,
Жрецы мои - бухгалтера.
Я в этом храме - жрец верховный,
Первосвященник ваш и вождь.
Свершая подвиг мой духовный,
Я золотой сбираю дождь.
Мои сокровища несметны,
Их не отдам я без борьбы.
Да будут вечно ж безответны
Мной усмиренные рабы!
Да будут святы им ступени,
Где жду я жертвы их трудов!
Да склонят все они колени,
Целуя прах моих следов!
