Come closer, kid, listen up, kiddo
_____
I'm gonna tell you the story of humankind
_____
At first there was nothing, at first it was fine
_____
Nature moved forward, there was no path
_____
Then man showed up in his big old boots
_____
Kicks in the face to get some respect
_____
The one-way roads he started laying down
_____
The arrows in the plain started to multiply
_____
And every element ended up under control
_____
In no time at all, the story was wrapped up
_____
We won't be turning back anytime soon
_____
We even started polluting the deserts
_____
And that's no small thing to say
_____
You're not gonna die laughing
_____
And that's no small thing to say
_____
In a few years we'll have eaten the leaf
_____
And your grandkids will only have one eye
_____
Right in the middle of their forehead, they'll ask you
_____
Why you've got two, you'll look like a d*ck
_____
They'll say, How could you let that happen
_____
You can defend yourself, explain in a whisper
_____
It's not my fault, it's the elders'
_____
But there'll be nobody left to wash your hands
_____
So there you have it, kid, the story of humankind
_____
It's not pretty, pretty, and I don't know the end
_____
You weren't born in a cabbage but rather in a hole
_____
That we fill every day like a manure pit
_____
And we've grown up well, we're not kids anymore
_____
What's changed? Not much, I guess
_____
Straight into the wall, we keep rushing
_____
And the only difference now is that we know it
_____
I blame you who were there before us
_____
For not doing much to avoid the hole
_____
We look for excuses when the earth is in sorrow
_____
But digging our grave we might find some oil
_____
I put on a mask to go to the sea
_____
I slip on a VR headset to get some air
_____
We barrel into the ditch with giant strides
_____
They say the grass is greener on the screens
_____
A boomerang in the face like a tidal wave
_____
The old mistakes, the packaging the wind brings back to us
_____
It's too late when the vise tightens
_____
If that's no small thing to say, then what's it to do it
_____
For the young ones I think I'm already old
_____
In the end, who'll stay standing
_____
We hope the next generation'll do better
_____
But the one before, is it the same as us
_____
You need to breathe
_____
Give me some air
_____
It's tomorrow that everything gets worse
You're not gonna die laughing
_____
I didn't get the joke
_____
And that's no small thing to say
_____
You need to breathe
_____
But I shut the window
_____
And that's no small thing to say
_____
You're not gonna die laughing
_____
That it's no small thing to say
_____
Give me some air
_____
It's tomorrow that everything gets worse
_____
You're not gonna die laughing
_____
And that's no small thing to say
_____
You need to breathe
_____
But I shut the window
_____
You need to breathe
_____
You need to breathe
