Well, it must be our high hopes
The reason we end up always let down
Or an elusive sense of pride
That takes us for a ride on rocky roads
Whenever we give out our hearts
We truly think that it could last forever
They always come back full of cracks
We fill them up with plaster and go on bravely
We don’t want to be bitter
People who’re cynical and grim
We don’t want to be some non-believers
But it’s hard as nails sometimes
We always end up wondering
Why Mr.Cupid is such a shady prick
Why love has to be a war zone
Where power, corruption and lies intertwine?
We don’t want to be bitter
People who’re cynical and grim
We don’t want to be some non-believers
But it’s hard, a can of worms
Often we swear that we're done with this game
Then we see a face and it's all the same
Every lesson learned, it's magically forgotten
We don’t want to be bitter
People who’re cynical and grim
We don’t want to be some non-believers
Though it’s hard
It’s so hard
We don’ t want to be bitter
We don’t want to be bitter
We don’t want to be bitter
No, we don’t want to be bitter

Evripidis and his Tragedies Barcelona, Spain
Evripidis and His Tragedies is Evripidis Sabatis. The "Tragedies" are the devastating, confessional, self-sarcastic, darkly humorous songs that draw on his classical piano training, queer sensibility and storytelling skills to examine and own up to the vicissitudes of life. Evripidis' pop inclinations take us for a bumpy, dancey ride across the fine line between tragedy and joie de vivre. ... more
