Who is it that my life/Third World War

Who is it that my life

Music: Mikis Theodorakis

Lyrics: Manos Eleftheriou

Who is it that my life hunts
wishing to prey upon it in the night?
Trucks scream and whistle
I' m caught like fish in the net.

For someone in the world it is too late
who is it that my life, that my life hunts?

Who lies in ambush for my life?
Who is it who takes aim at the alleys of the world?
Where is the one who knows how to speak
who knows, even more, how to believe?

Third World War
Music: Manos Loizos
Lyrics: John Negrepontis

Peter, Johann and Franz
worked in a factory
building tanks
Peter, Johann and Franz
became close friends building tanks.

Peter, Johann and Franz
worked for Brown, Fischer and Kraft
Brown, Fischer and Kraft
became close friends building a Trust.

Peter, Johann and Franz
kept working on the tanks, no worry in their minds
they had never read Marx
they had no idea about Trusts and stock market crashes.

Brown, Fischer and Kraft
split into Brown, Fischer and Kraft
Brown, Fischer and Kraft
became alleged enemies, they broke up the Trust.

And before they got to find out what Marx said
they were drafted, they've gone to war
Peter, Johann and Franz
fell like heroes under the tanks.

Brown, Fischer and Kraft
thought about it and concluded it was Marx's fault
Brown, Fischer and Kraft
got together again and built another Trust.
