Athens, Greece

from The Egyptian by Poirot

lyrics

Brother, give me some water 'cause I can't take the heat
I saw everything in forty years but I still got cold feet
They say, times are changing and surely that's no crime
Athens, Greece is burning and I'm out of time

I've known stupid women, I've had hopeless bands
Voted for assholes who would crush me with their hands
My pocket's empty, brother, give me two lines that rhyme
Someone please tell me that I'm in my prime
Athens, Greece is burning and I'm out of time

Don't you read books, don't make me say that again
All that they'll ever give you is cerebral pain
Working like horses to save enough for just a dime
Athens, Greece is burning and I'm out of time

The sun is out, it's laughing at my face
Another wasted project of the human race
My skin is changing and that's the biggest crime
Indifferent and corrupt, sipping their lime
Athens, Greece is burning and I'm out of time
