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 cooks me slowly


 * My entire life, a foolery
 * 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 appreciate, yet I smoke
 * and when it becomes a dogend, I'll offer it to Death
 * when the time comes for me to meet him
 * &mdash; Singer: Stelios Kazantzidis, Songwriter: Akis Panou, Composer: Akis Panou
