Morbid laws
Police man says you can't sit down here
it's against this local law
idling in this square
morbid laws
they pull them out
whenever society need them
chasing the roma people from place to
place
a wretched life with no rest
absence
vagabond repression
homeless evacuations
cleaning the street trash
cleaning the minds
fighting against the poor
Religion
Moral standards
moral thinking
moral disipline
moral self-control
judge by your bible
judge by your tradition
sits here watching the others
all the people on every side
religion always made us come apart
New face
They say they are protecting your
freedom
they say they are fighting the new face
of evil
clearing six moths of total control
police night raids
people thrown in jail
this is the new face of modern
democracy
this is the new face
they say this if for your own best
france in 20-16 is where laws can be
bent
in the interest of total control
police night raids
this is the new face of modern
democracy
this is the new face
Wasted life
Never going to have a trade
never going to become someone
never going to become anything
never going to become anyone
have a look at your lives
look at all these people running
back and forth chasing a concept of
career
back and forth for money
earning, toiling, stressing, hoping
self righteous to hide your fears
produce produce, produce and die
this wasted life, this wasted used up
life
wasted life
Hysteria
When you cry justice
you mean executions
when you cry liberty
you mean inside this police state
then you cry freedom of speech
and then you make racist insults
violence is a republican state problem
a state needs some common ground
seeking unity through fear
manifesting the difference between us
and them
when you cry equality
you mean amongst catholic white
when you cry peace
you mean through submission
submission to this present
Les
Ami-e-s
for all these moment I've
never had
for all this times that i
should have spent
for all my friends that I
should have seen
you make your choices and
your compromises like you can
what is there left of your
thoughts, that you had before?
I can never go back, still
you think, that nothing have changed, that nothing is real
was is all just a game for
you, was it all just a a game?
is it really me that have
changed, is it really me the bore?
i am not asking you to
live like i do, i am asking you to be honest
your apathy makes me sick,
your t.v. makes me blind
give me a smile, spend
some time
i can never go back, still
you think
that nothing has changed
that nothing is real
was it all just a game to
you, was it all just a game
you stay where you are,
accepting your lives
stay where you are
Allumettes
You, I am talking to you
You, you had a band you
had everything
and you had peoples
respect because of what you've done
and you, you use it, and
you don't care about anyone
look at you now, see what
you are like
look what you do, see how
I react
You, you don't care,
clearly there is no choice
not going to take your
crap, just because you help us out
i will help my friends any
time they need it
but understand me clearly,
you are not one of them
look at you now, see what
you are like
look what you do, see how
I react
look at me, respect my
choice
look at yourself, you will
end up fucked up and alone
i am positive that i don't
need to do what you do
i am positive that i don't
need to step on other people
(i am positive that this
scene can live without people like you)
Bobo$
wasted lands surrounded by
holes in the ground
another eviction to leave
an empty space
caterpillars digging and
carving in muddy sands
split and divide, see what
you will get
split and divide, see what
you will get
build this crap, change
this block
build this crap and let
the yuppies decide
money stinks everywhere i
go
i can see that you are
putting it out to show
it's in your clothes, it's
in your cars
it's in your food, it's in
your attitude
between blocks and
prisons, there is no difference
i never want to be a part
of your world
i never want to be a part
of your world
so get out of yours
fucking yuppie-scum
so get out of yours
fucking yuppie-scum
Citoyen
you function is to do
your
job, your job is to fill a function
your function is to
protect rigid principles
you say you are just doing
your job
you say you don't want to
cause problems
but it's exactly what you
mean to do
you step on other people
who already have enough problems
you say i have to follow
your laws and regulations
what kind of moral
principle is it to follow your laws
another excuse to chase
and suppress
cop in your heart, cop in
your head
just looking for another
excuse
just looking for another
reason
to make sure
you are making sure, it's
for your own safety
you are making sure, it's
for everyone's safety
you say you are just doing
your job
you say you don't want to
cause problems
but it's exactly what you
mean to do
Lost
tell me do you still
believe in your ideas
is it really what you
think, before you said like this
like that, believe in this
and believe me
but you have changed, you
don't believe in anything any more
you spoiled everything
trust me
you always told me that
you would be there
you always told me you
would be there
shit you are not, you are
lost
in your face, my old worn
out shoes
you should wear life, not
be worn out by it
i would never abandon my
ideas like that
this rotten world will
never feed on my struggles and ideas
feel the pressure, the
system is against us
feel the pressure, see the
fear in peoples eyes
some people would like to
forget that we are here
they would like to push us
down in normality
we should stay together
and talk about ideas
talk abut our lives,
avoiding to be alone
i will not be silent for
anything or for anyone
affection and respect wont
make me silent either
no regrets for those who
got swallowed by the system
no regrets for those who
got swallowed by the system
you're lost
Boy
when i pushed you i didn't
mean to
my patience was lost again
and i can be sorry a hundred times
my voice is far more
dangerous than my hands
i was talking when i
should have been listening to you
i continue to do whatever
it was we where supposed to do together
i was acting when i should
have been letting you finish
i never cared to count or
to wait for a while
i was restless when i
should have been biting my tongue
what was obvious to me is
not obvious at all
the silence of your voice
tell me that something is wrong
making sure never hurt
anyone
constructing confidence is
something we do together
communication and honesty
is what we rely on
making sure is what we
rely on
Talking to a
wall
what a waste of words,
wasted again
did you ever take the time
to listen to yourself
i am wasting my words, i
am talking to a wall
everyone wants to stop
drinking, i wonder why
wanted to hear what you
said, please say it again
wasted again, are you
doing what you wanted
what did you say, i never
understood the point
wanted to spend a good
time with you
i am wasting my time, i am
talking to a wall
we are all disillusioned
this society is covered in
obscure rituals
for you to decide,
what are the rituals
you want to embrace
what do you want to
embrace?
La Télé
How long did it take, before you accepted these lies
How long did it take, before your filter died?
How long since you've lived in this acceptance?
You live in acceptance, but you can feel that something is wrong
You live in acceptance
You will learn to be clever, you will learn all the trends
You will learn good morals, and how to have opinions
Something to talk about
How long since you've felt that something is wrong
How long since you've lived in this acceptance
Looking into a box, six hours a day
Are you relaxing or wasting your time
Looking into a box, manipulated truth
Are you accepting it now?
Are you relaxing or are you wasting your time
You will learn to be clever, you will learn all the trends
You will learn good morals, and how to have opinions
Avoid
I was trying to look you in the eyes
But you refuse to see what's in front of you
It seems to me that you are caught up
In a never-ending circle of running sheep
Did you ever stop to take a better look
I hear doors clicking, you lock yourself in
If you met my look, maybe you wouldn't be so scared
you wouldn't be so scared, no you wouldn't be so scared
I hear car doors clicking while I bike between you
You avoid contact, you avoid to smile
You look away and you nourish your fears
I can see your imaginary fear
Did you ever stop to take a better look
Avoid contact, avoid to smile
You look away and you nourish your fears
Did you ever stop to take a better look
Les Poubelles / Refusal
I try to live with as little as I can
There's a thousand people dying of hunger
There's a thousand kilos of food in the trash
I try to live doing what I can
Take what you want, take what you need
I'm not letting money dictate the rhythm of my life
Sorry I wont buy all the shit that you sell
I am sorry I can't approve of your business
Sorry I can't contribute to your exploiting stores
I am sorry but your fairtrade can't be serious
Take what you want, take what you need
I'm not letting money dictate the rhythm of my life
I'm trying to live doing what I can
