Video from last night’s anti-fascist gig in Athens: “as if I’d cry, as if I’d get scared”

A brief moment from yesterday’s anti-fascist gig in the Sporting sports ground, Athens: Yannis Agelakas sings the song “as if I’d cry, as if I’d get scared”

 

They tell me that if I exit the circle I’ll be lost

that I should wander around by its edge only

and that the world is a merciless beast

which, when it bites, I’d better keep quiet.

And when they fear that I might lose it

they tell me to hide somewhere and hide

and to remember, that I’m small

too small, to change any of this.

But me, with a proud and wild dance

like an eagle, I’ll fly over the sorrow.

As if I’d cry, as if I’d get scared

As if I’d cry, as if I’d get scared.

I’ll go build a nest in the skies

and I’ll come down only when I want to laugh

As if I’d cry, as if I’d get scared

As if I’d cry, as if I’d get scared.

They tell me that if I go any higher I’ll get dizzy

and that it’s better for me to lie in their mud

and that if I want to see more,

I’d better look at a mirror alone.

And when they fear that I might lose it

they tell me to hide somewhere and hide

and to remember, that I’m small

too small, to change any of this.

But me, with a proud and wild dance

like an eagle, I’ll fly over the sorrow.

As if I’d cry, as if I’d get scared

As if I’d cry, as if I’d get scared.

I’ll go build a nest in the skies

and I’ll come down only when I want to laugh

As if I’d cry, as if I’d get scared

As if I’d cry, as if I’d get scared.

    Great, and I hope that it´s possible to bring this unity and enthusiasm on the streets against golden dawn and their friends. I hope this concert was much more than just an event… then it would be possible to fight them back…

    In deep solidartiy, and yes this film support my own local antifascist fight, too…It´s a good soundtrack… But it should be more..

    lol, I love you little antifa faggots acting like emo children. You always need your silly little concerts and emo lyrics to make you feel good about your Hot Topic “fuck authority” philosophy. Hilarious.

    Love nazis playing “nigger”-music: Swing, Oi and Black-Metal, hahahar! Just like the whole european “culture” sheer imperialism: dreadlocks, digideroos, anti-american “hiphop”… Blood calls with yer new celly: Two million died so the European master-race can “communicate” their blabla. They speak with hands into the mic and don’t think about that noone can see their smile, stupid rich brats.

    Be sure, nazi scum… antifascism with emotions on the strets feels completely differnt….. and hate is a feeling, too and if a concert helps to organize and too feel together a little bit stronger it´s a good thing… It should be more than just an event and a possibility to collect money..

    I feel sorry for the Greece but I think these riots & strikes are only an act of self destruction & suicide. As a nation you should unite and put all your efforts positively to re-build up your economy on a strong plan. These riots & strikes all are negative efforts that will only worsen your bad situation.
