Akis Kapranos - Dictatorship Of The Mediocre Lyrics

[Verse 1: Spiros Antoniou]
You think you're so damn important
But you can easily be replaced
There are so many more like you
You are the power of numbers
But it isn't in your hands
Are you sure you can make a real change?

[Chorus: Sotiris Vayenas]
Small people in big houses
There is one way to act
There is one way to think
Dictatorship of the mediocre

[Verse 2: Spiros Antoniou]
Was it so easy?
The termination of your ego
For the sake of the "right"
Mentality of the maze?
How is it to have no options
To be the host of parasites?
Are you glad?

[Chorus: Sotiris Vayenas]
Small people in big houses
There is one way to act
There is one way to think
Dictatorship of the mediocre!
[Verse 3: Spiros Antoniou]
Sometimes
It's so funny when you are trying
To convince me for my own good
However, sometimes
I must admit I really envy
The ascetic
Life of a dirty strange old hermit

[Chorus: Sotiris Vayenas]
Small people in big houses
There is one way to act
There is one way to think
Dictatorship of the mediocre!

[Verse 4: Spiros Antoniou]
I'm not so eager to get sick
From the popular symptoms of social illness
I'm not so eager to be rebaptized
To belong to the powerful majority of fools

[Verse 5: Spiros Antoniou]
You want to help
To make me normal and right

[Chorus: Sotiris Vayenas]
Small people in big houses
There is one way to act
There is one way to think
Dictatorship of the mediocre!
[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 6: Spiros Antoniou]
You wanted to help
To make me normal and right
However, you can also use me
As an example for your children

[Outro: Sotiris Vayenas]
A bad example for your children
