Blues at the Acropolis - The Breeders

I’ll mourn over the marble steps

Junkies of the world lay across the monuments

I climb and blister on the mount

Drunks take a piss where heroes once bled out

Capital sister, I cry and I blister on the mount

Gods offer beer and hope where heroes once bled out

I got the blues at the Acropolis

I kick up dirt

The men stop and hiss

I groan up and down the steps

Junkies of the world draped across the monuments

Capital sister, I cry and then I blister on the mount

I got the blues at the Acropolis

I’ve got the blues at the Acropolis
