Prisonniers de nos gestes et coupables
Prisoners of our actions and guilty
Du sang partout autour de la table
Blood all around the table
Trop d'estomacs vides
Too many empty stomachs
Ou trop de pleins
Or too many
Moins de raisons que de ciment
Fewer reasons than cement
Pourtant, personne n'en dément
However, no one denies it
Libérés de nos pulsions et de nos actes
Freed from our impulses and our actions
Le progrès perd soudain son air affable
Progress suddenly loses its affable air
Les yeux injectés de sang
Bloodshot eyes
On aimerait contrôler le temps
We would like to control the time
Mais ce petit pas qu'est l'homme
But this small step that is man
Laisse place à un désert de sang
Give way to a desert of blood
J'aimerais pouvoir croire en plus
I wish I could believe more
Donner un coup dans la ruche
Kick the hive
Mais ma patience qui s'effrite
But my patience is crumbling
Il ne reste que la musique
All that's left is the music
J'aimerais pouvoir croire en plus
I wish I could believe more
Donner un coup dans la ruche
Kick the hive
Mais il ne reste que la musique
But there's only music left
Peu d'amour et peu d'éthique
Little love and little ethics
Les nouveaux développements s'étendent
New developments are spreading
Les boisés rasés sans aucune conscience
Woodlands razed without any conscience
Pour un centre d'achat
For a shopping center
Ou des maisons toutes pareilles
Or houses all the same
Les promoteurs se lèchent les doigts
Promoters are licking their fingers
Moi mon cœur, lentement se noie
Me my heart, slowly drowns
J'aimerais pouvoir croire en plus
I wish I could believe more
Donner un coup dans la ruche
Kick the hive
Mais ma patience qui s'effrite
But my patience is crumbling
Il ne reste que la musique
All that's left is the music
J'aimerais pouvoir croire en plus
I wish I could believe more
Donner un coup dans la ruche
Kick the hive
Mais il ne reste que la musique
But there's only music left
Peu d'amour et peu d'éthique
Little love and little ethics
J'aurai crié, brandi le blanc tout comme le noir
I would have shouted, brandished the white as well as the black
Mais des imbéciles, y'en a partout, plus qu'on aimerait y croire
But there are idiots everywhere, more than we would like to believe
Comment peut-on être à ce point dénué de jugement et se retrouver président?
How can you be so devoid of judgment and find yourself president?
La démocratie est belle, et bien morte dans son nid
Democracy is beautiful, but dead in its nest
J'aimerais pouvoir croire en plus
I wish I could believe more
Mettre le feu à la ruche
Set fire to the hive
Mais je suis comme un malade
But I'm like a sick person
Attendant le pronostique
Waiting for the prediction
