Death of Democracy - Kula Shaker

People did you hear about the fortune of the Greeks

The trojan horse has won the war

And snatched the golden fleece

There are woman screaming

So there’s breaking down the door

Even Icarus was flapping to escape the Minotaur

It happened suddenly

Athens fell into the sea

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 you back

You don’t need to know

What we have put upon your plate

And you don’t need no oracle to recognise your fate

It happened suddenly

Athens fell into the sea

The dream that ceased to be

The death of democracy

Three hundred man of Sparta

Fought with sandals on their feet

And now they are selling snickers

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

The truth is plain to see

And we knew it

Athens fell into the sea

I guess we blew it

The dream that ceased to be

The death of democracy

The truth was clear to see

The dream that ceased to be

The death of democracy
