i da se tamo zemlja tresla
da joj se srusila kuca
i kako joj je nestala adresa
Vidio sam svu ljepotu svijeta
na casu geografije
kad je izasla pred kartu
bila je veca od Velike Britanije
Na odmoru sam ispred nje dubio na glavi
jer to sam u razredu ja najbolje znao
ko je im'o para, kupov'o joj kifle
ko je znao rijeci, pjesme joj je slao
Ref.
Djulijano Pike, otrov za klinke
zenskih srca on je gospodar
zavede je u mraku, u velikom parku
a vec sutra za njom viknu
probuseni dolar, probuseni dolar
Ja tad nisam znao sta je tu na stvari
i dalje sam pred njom dubio na glavi
al' Britanija je postala ozbiljna i tuzna
Britanija je postala obicna i ruzna
Ref.
Kako je Velika Britanija postala probuseni dolar
Zabranjeno Pusenje's 1988 hit "Kako je Velika Britanija postala probuseni dolar" stands as a defining anthem of Yugoslav rock, blending punk energy with sharp social satire. Released during the final years of the former Yugoslavia, the track critiques economic disparity and political corruption while celebrating the absurdity of global capitalism. The song's infectious rhythm and biting lyrics made it an instant crowd favorite, embodying the rebellious spirit of the era. It remains a cornerstone of the band's discography, showcasing their ability to fuse international punk influences with distinctly local cultural commentary. The recording captures the raw, unpolished energy that characterized much of the Yugoslav rock scene in the late 1980s, cementing Zabranjeno Pusenje's legacy as the region's most influential rock act.
