lyrics

Now, your holy regime got us in time out of the long economic crisis
Pleasuring soft-headed voters that can’t see your imprudent ecdysis
On guard for Covid-19, hiring cops was part of your brilliance
Instead of building ICUs, played games with our mental resilience

How can you leave exposed the land, despite the fires data in your archives
Risking what you see as expendable firemen’s and trivial residents’ lives.
Isn’t it handy to have paid clowns that enjoy being jacks of all trades,
Like Xerxes you order them to discipline startling wildfires with clubs and blades.
 

Felt like losing
each and every fight,
But now all that is left,
seems strangely right.

Felt like losing
each and every fight,
But now all that is left,
seems eerily right.


Now, the time has come for a glorious degradation of our education,
Enforcing lumpen events that tactically lead to our intellectual castration.
Your “bread and circuses” involved an illusory economic support,
Dividing the oppressed to obliged and those that saw it as the last resort.

There are not enough words to sufficiently explain,
This lunacy we name Greek Political Geometry.
If you suggest the presence of ethos, I’ll call you insane,
Cause the birthplace of democracy has evolved into a great anomaly.


Felt like losing
each and every fight,
But now all that is left,
seems strangely right.

Felt like losing
each and every fight,
But now all that is left,
seems eerily right.
 
We’ve all kept losing
every single fight,
The right is solely left
since the left was mimicking the right.
