Death of Democracy
People did you hear about the fortune of the Greeks?
The Trojan horse won the war
And snatched the golden fleece
There were women screaming
So there's breaking down the door
Even Icarus was flapping to escape the Minotaur (la-la-la-la-la)
It suddenly happened
Athens fell into the sea (la-la-la-la-la)
The dream that ceased to be
The death of democracy
Well, you can live away your life
And never pay it back
'Cause money is the law
So get your hands behind your back
You don't need to know
What we have put upon your plate
And you don't need no oracle to recognize your fate (la-la-la-la-la)
It happened suddenly
Athens fell into the sea (la-la-la-la-la)
The dream that ceased to be
The death of democracy
Three hundred men of Sparta
Fought with sandals on their feet
And now they are selling sneakers
On the corner of the street
It's a joke that isn't funny
It's a runway without a dog
And it's only printed money
So just go print some more (la-la-la-la-la)
The truth is plain to see
And we all knew it (la-la-la-la-la)
Athens fell into the sea
I guess we blew it (la-la-la-la-la)
The dream that ceased to be
The death of democracy
Yeah!
(La-la-la-la-la)
The truth was clear to see
Yes, the blue gene the blue gene, ooh
The dream that ceased to be
The death of democracy
The Trojan horse won the war
And snatched the golden fleece
There were women screaming
So there's breaking down the door
Even Icarus was flapping to escape the Minotaur (la-la-la-la-la)
It suddenly happened
Athens fell into the sea (la-la-la-la-la)
The dream that ceased to be
The death of democracy
Well, you can live away your life
And never pay it back
'Cause money is the law
So get your hands behind your back
You don't need to know
What we have put upon your plate
And you don't need no oracle to recognize your fate (la-la-la-la-la)
It happened suddenly
Athens fell into the sea (la-la-la-la-la)
The dream that ceased to be
The death of democracy
Three hundred men of Sparta
Fought with sandals on their feet
And now they are selling sneakers
On the corner of the street
It's a joke that isn't funny
It's a runway without a dog
And it's only printed money
So just go print some more (la-la-la-la-la)
The truth is plain to see
And we all knew it (la-la-la-la-la)
Athens fell into the sea
I guess we blew it (la-la-la-la-la)
The dream that ceased to be
The death of democracy
Yeah!
(La-la-la-la-la)
The truth was clear to see
Yes, the blue gene the blue gene, ooh
The dream that ceased to be
The death of democracy
