With apologies to Fat Boy Slim and the crew of 'Eat Sleep Rave Repeat'. Here is the Greek version narrated by Yanis Varoufakis featuring Alexis Tsipras - 'Borrow Spend Default Repeat'. 

"Borrow, spend, default, repeat"

(with Yanis Varoufakis )

(feat. Alexis Tsipras)

So, there was austerity

It was like, kicking off

I don't know what it was doing

But it was sick, man

Like, it was like, no growth

Bare. Like, jobs gone, like fucked

And the EU started strangling us in stupid shit

And we were all like, writhing around on the floor, at least I thought we were

And then help walked in, you know, not like help, like real help, like a deal, like, you know, you know what I'm saying

Troika

Like Merkel and the Troika

It was ok. It wasn't ok, we were starvin'.

I hated her, man

To that hate I said Nein!

Like, I hate her and her deals, man

Like, you know, like, no borrowing’ no spending' no defaulting’ she’s repeatin'

There were people rioting I think, and no one listened

They only listened to the EU.

Well anyway, like, we were just suffering and rioting,

And then came this Syriza guy

Tsipras.

And this Tsipras guy just looked at me

Told me to be his Finance Minister, I asked why, but all he kept saying was

Borrow, spend, default, repeat

Borrow, spend, default, repeat

Borrow, spend, default, repeat

Borrow, spend, default, repeat

[Chorus:]

Borrow, spend, default, repeat

Borrow, spend, default, repeat

Borrow, spend, default, repeat

Borrow, spend, default, repeat

Borrow, spend, default, repeat

Borrow, spend, default, repeat

Borrow, spend, default, repeat

Borrow,

Spend,

Default,

Repeat

Suddenly I think I'm on the phone

Suddenly I’m telling the others

Gotta do it like this

We just Borrowin

We just spending

We just borrowing

We just spending

We just borrowing

We just spending

And on, and on and on and on and on and on

Got this call, it was Dijsselbloem, BLOEM FUCKING BLOEM, MAN

Sorry dude, to what are you objecting?

I went into his meeting, and the guy was, like, you wanna pay us something?

I'm like no, I'm just looking for a restructure

He's like then get the fuck out of my Union

I'm like, I like it here, I like the funding

 I like your money, it’s long term not hot

So I got him by the arm, and I dragged him onto the street, and I showed him his mess

He gave me all his threats

And all I kept thinking was

[Chorus:]

Borrow, spend, default, repeat

Borrow, spend, default, repeat

Borrow, spend, default, repeat

Borrow, spend, default, repeat

Till, like Tsipras called me the next morning,

Yanis, like, where were you last night?

I was like, I was there

He was like, oh yeah

And then he was like errr, you say we will repay the debt?

I'm like, I don't remember fucking anything, man

I mean, I have like, fade recollections and like, a general feeling of happiness

And he was like, NO, DEFAULT THAT FUCKING DEBT, MAN!

[Chorus:]

Borrow, spend, default, repeat

Borrow, spend, default, repeat

Borrow, spend, default, repeat

Borrow, spend, default, repeat

Borrow, spend, default, repeat

Borrow, spend, default, repeat

Borrow, spend, default, repeat

Borrow, spend, default, repeat

Borrow, spend, default, repeat

So we came out of the EU club, It was dark, and there was night and they were strange times

I was pretty, like, I dunno

But I went to these new lenders as I had no debt, and suddenly it was tomorrow and then tomorrow was today,

And I never missed the EU club as others lent as the economy was banging and the beat was like, really loud,
I was ravin' and suddenly I was singing in Spain, to Podemos, as austerity was killing them too. Soon they were singing

Borrow, spend, default, repeat

All they kept saying was

Borrow, spend, default, repeat

All they kept saying was

Borrow, spend, default, repeat

All I kept thinking was

Borrow, spend, default, repeat

Italy said yo, I'm a debtor too

Austerity hurts but we seen what you do

making good out of your pain

And I swear to god they said

Borrow, spend, default, repeat

Borrow, spend, default, repeat

Borrow, spend, default, repeat

Borrow, spend, default, repeat

Borrow, spend, default, repeat

Borrow, spend, default, repeat

Borrow, spend, default, repeat

Borrow, spend, default, repeat

Borrow, spend, default, repeat

Borrow, spend, default, repeat
