12os pithikos - Лирицс транслатион то енглисх
English
A better tomorrow (Protest)
I can't breathe, injustice drowns me, it's a heavy burdenWe slowly kill us, by torturing us, we're breathing repression
Tomorrow your mother will be hungry and your brother will go out on the streets1
What will you be wearing when you'll go to find him? Your normal clothing or your police uniform?
If Cleisthenes was alive to see this things, he would've been sick of you
Deme and authority2, citizen and power, which of these are you?
How much does a life cost? It's probably cheap for you
You never saw people you animals, we're just numbers to you
In the land of freedom, everyone carries glocks3
In the country of democracy, they step on your neck, they rule with batons
The measures4 are like a noose in the neck, on the verge of the junta, madness and hunger
Lockdown is a nice word
Instead of saying incarceration, quarantine prison
How many millions did you give to the shitty tv channels for the spots?5
So they'll lick your asses like the good yusufakia6they are
Mass Vomiting Media7 they're the scams that got their backs
You aren't journalists, you idiots
You're liars, you're their customers
While people jump from rooftops
Keep showing idiotic things on the news
Hire more doctors
Not anymore PIMP cops
Hear me people, don't rush to judge me and put a label on me
I'm neither left nor right wing
My name is Akis, I'm a free spirit
I'm a Greek citizen and I've got rights under the constitution
That they're trampled one by one, in blood and soil
Ask a 20 year old kid, what's his dreams for life?
In this cursed place in which we became slaves for bread
Maybe I'd love my country (Maybe), if she loved me as well
I don't suffer from Stockholm Syndrome, I hate the rapist
I see young children as if they were my brothers, as if they were my kids
So that they'll never say, that me and my generation abandoned them
The previous generations crippled us, now they're mad that we react
Listen to me, Mr. Pantelis8, fuck off, we owe you nothing
You see, some of us don't only care for ourselves
You ate, you ate, you ate, you got full, give us our future back
You failed, ladies and gentlemen, protagonists in the theater of the absurd
The only crime that I have committed is called freedom of speech
Come on, call me now dirty, angry and aggressive
Of course, you're settled, how can you see the world the way I see it
Justice only for the rich, punches and fucking for the poor
With seperation, purely based on class, I wonder, I wonder how can you not be angry?
What do you want me to tell you first?
Health, education, meritocracy, pedophilia, blood and violence
Long live the new terrorism9
You have a plug10, you'll live well
You don't have a plug, you'll eat shit
You don't lick asses, you'll be a peasant
We want employers, not bosses
Be proud of our ancestors,
For the descendants, however, not a single word
Your children and grandchildren are slaves so you can say 'the old times were great'
How can I love my homeland? I neither heard nor saw her
She kills my dreams ever since I was a kid, she pushes every hope of mine off the cliff
When I was a child, they told me
She's like a mother that eats her children
If I want to live normally, I have to leave, to run away from her
Scandals, corruption, lawlessness, poverty and the law acts as their protector
Tell me am I lying? Or am I also a terrorist?
Am I crazy? Am I a traitor?
Is it maybe my fault that you made the country Europe's bitch?
With laws that you made, in order to violate
To divide the people, to rape the people
Hunger is a tough nut to crack, you can't get used to being hurt
To beg for some oxygen, it's my duty to speak out
We grew sick of you all, you made our society rot
Give us a chance, not a police squad to each one of us
Poverty breeds beasts on the road to salvation
This is a protest
Long live freedom
A better tomorrow, a better tomorrow
A better tomorrow we want a better tomorrow
A better tomorrow, a better tomorrow
A better tomorrow we want a better tomorrow
