Lyrics

My entire life is a responsibility
it takes everything from me, it gives [me] nothing
my entire life is a furnace
in which I have fallen and which cooks me slowly
My entire life, a folly
my only property
my entire life is a self-sacrifice
which has neither meaning nor purpose
My entire life is a cigarette
which I don't like, yet which I smoke
and when it becomes a dog-end I'll offer it to Death
when the time comes for me to meet him
— Singer: Stelios Kazantzidis, Songwriter: Akis Panou, Composer: Akis Panou
