[Verse 1]
City streets hum, but it’s hunger they sing,
Pockets on diet, dreams clipped at the wing.
Market aisles feel like a labyrinth of pain,
Milk priced in gold, bread drenched in shame.
Unemployed masses, faces carved of stone,
Phones stay silent, no calls, no loans.
A thousand resumes, no callbacks today,
Hope got evicted, it’s out on display.
[Prechorus]
Promises sold in ballot box deals,
Thieves in ties, spinning wheels on our heels.
[Chorus]
Echoes of Athens, crying through the night,
The lonely, the broken, searching for the light.
Prices climbing mountains, no summit in sight,
Politicians dance, while we fight for a bite.
[Verse 2]
Neon shadows cast on streets paved with lies,
Broken souls barter under unlit skies.
Prostituting dignity, a price on their pride,
Bodies for survival, nowhere to hide.
Empty fridges laugh, mocking the pain,
Politicians feast, sipping greed like champagne.
Pensioners counting coins, hearts filled with dread,
The future’s a mirage, hope hanging by a thread.
