Gogol Bordello: Wonderlust King
Gogol Bordello is an oasis in the middle of a desert of shitty music where there is only nickelback, Fall out boy, Brittany, soulja boy, and many spiritless imitators!

Oh, I just thought of something after re-listening to the song. Wonderlust is a play on the word wanderlust (obviously), since the song is talking about wandering, but it also incorporates the idea that he lusts after not just wandering, but things that make him wonder. So yeah, it's made up, but that's probably what it means...
When I am really REALLY pissed off, I crank Gogol bordello and it puts me in a good mood.
Someone said that "this is brilliant" and "Real music, played with feeling !!! Not comercial shit." and i couldnt agree more.
quit hyping linkin park and hinder and listen to something that is good wether or not MTV says so or not.
Gogol is more energenic then 90% of the crap you hear on the radio and has alot more feeling.
i just found out about these guys last week but i feel like i've been listning for years and i wish i have been.
Crazy men :) I understand them :)
And they're alive, ha-ha, it's so unbelievable in our e-times.
I really like his mustache. I hope they are real :)
Back in the day yo as we learned
A man was not considered to be
Considered to be fully grown
Has he not gona beyond the hills
Has he not crossed the 7 seas
Yeah, 7 seas at least!
Now all them jokers kept around
Just like the scarecrows in hometown
Yeah, scarecrows in hometown
From screen to screen they're travelin'
But I'm a wonderlust king
I stay on the run
Let me out
Let me be gone
In the world's beat up road sign
I saw new history of time...
New history of time!!!
Through Siberian woods
Breaking up their neck
Chinese moving in building discoteques
Homemade sex toys and whatnot
Yeah, and why not?
Well at least it's something different
From what they got in every other airport
Ja ne evrei, no koje-chto pohozge
sovrat ne dast ni Yura ni Seryozga!
Simple because I'm not a total gadjo
Da ja shut, ja tziratch, nu tak stozge?
I traveled the world
Looking for understanding
Of the times that we live in
Hunting and gathering first hand information
Challenging definitions of sin
I traveled the world
Looking for lovers
Of the ultimate beauty
But never settled in
I'm Wonderlust King!
And presidents
And billionaires
And generals
They'll never know
What I have owned!
What I have owned...
I'm a wonderlust king!
