A new National Anthem for Greece
From Mount Olympus, mighty Zeus,
Your fearsome thunderbolts let loose
And spare us from the wretched role
Of being Europe’s begging bowl.
Where would the world without us be?
No ouzo, no Aegean sea,
No myth, no math, no feta cheese
No package deals, no Sophocles.
On treacherous seas now pitched and tossed,
Our drachma drowned, our marbles lost,
We founder in despair and swear
It’s gifts we need, not gifts we bear.
Melt Merkel’s heart, oh mighty Zeus,
And put the Bundesbank to use
By showering down on Greece, we plead,
More Euros than we’ll ever need.
