Nostalgia makes them imagine
The greatness of a bygone France
Those who see their faith belittled
When they didn't ask for anything
That foreigners will come
Into their living rooms to replace them
Makes them take risks
To survive where we've packed them all
Paranoia makes them believe
We can't go out on the street
To yell the planet's dying
And nobody gives a f*ck
To say we can't eat anything anymore
That we don't even have the right to think
Hate tips them over
Light the fire, set it all ablaze
All our leaders failed
They'll be destroyed by the beast
Along with respect
What rules us
Some say it's f*cked
Others are in denial
Billionaires hand down to their dumb kids
History belongs to those who wrote it
Nobody changes their mind
Because everybody gets hyped
Only cut-and-dry opinions
Whose tweets get quoted by the media
Smarts sell less than controversy
It's every tiny squad for itself
Does something wrong
Somewhere the whole world
The culprits are former victims
The evil loop never ends
Everything spirals, everything's cyclic
No solutions, just critiques
Everybody's sensitive
Everybody's on the defensive
Sensitive topic, sensitive person
Sensitive, everything's sensitive
Everybody's on the defensive
Sensitive topic, sensitive person
Sensitive, sensitive, sensitive
Everybody f*cks everybody
I wanna do the little train
Is somebody complaining
While the rest of the world
Suffers so we live well
Kids take the hit
Car wrecks, domestic violence
Alcohol's always at the root of evil
Nothing fills hospitals and courts more
We won't own up to being alcoholic
It's uncool to speak ill of it
We take morons, hand them guns
Call it justice, get shocked at the tragedies
Trapped in an infernal vortex
We treat evil with evil
And the media feast on it
You're either for or against
Buzz leeches flirt with extremes
Since morons turned into experts
Surrounded by morons, the Mongol Empire
We act like morons to please the morons
We'll fall like the Mongols
Like the Egyptians, like the Romans
Like the Mayans, like the Greeks
We gotta reboot, we gotta reset
We believe nothing, everything's deepfake
Facing the unknown, we reject it
Mix of fear, hate and sadness
Our contradictions, our dilemmas
Corrupt, I was born in the system
Nobody moves in the same direction
We see only one kind of wealth
Taking people's money is stealing
Except when it's business
Gen Z 'cause it's the last one
That we never knew war
They'll choose our future
Granny votes Marine, she's got three years to live
Fascist YouTubers, pseudo-subversives
That's what we get when we censor artists
Nothing ever moves, plenty radicalize
And I get lost in nostalgia for a time
Nostalgic for a time
When others were already nostalgic
When others were already nostalgic
F*ck, the sheep just want
No empathy, everything's hierarchical
School only teaches you individualism
They teach you how to make money
If the President gets half the votes
That means two thirds of France
No need to know what the Senate is
To see that rich old folks make the laws
Till they become them
Then they stash their money
Or freak out about losing it
So many sh*tty jobs
How many jobs only serve
Fed on judgments, fed on clichés
While we can't even feed ourselves
We can't manage our emotions
Can't manage our relationships
We never forgive ourselves in a world
We spit on each other
We can't live together
We fight to be up front
On a plane heading straight for the
