Ça m'brûle
It burns me
L'hypocrisie, l'envergure
The hypocrisy, the scale
Et tu hurles
And you scream
Mais chaque mur cache un autre mur
But every wall hides another wall
Le racisme est payant
Racism pays
Et on se paie nos têtes
And we mess around
Le marché de l'armement
The arms market
Commence là où l'empathie s'arrête
Starts where empathy ends
Puis tu t'arrêtes deux secondes pour y penser
Then you stop for two seconds to think about it
On les laisse faire du cash sur les vies qu'ils ont enlevées
We let them make cash on the lives they took
Pis on y pense pas trop
And we don't think about it too much
Jusqu'au contrecoup dans le dos
Until the backlash in the back
Et Genève
And Geneva
Tes conventions me font pleurer
Your conventions make me cry
Ya des règles
There are rules
Qui régissent comment tuer
Who govern how to kill
Le meurtre est un marché lucratif
Murder is a lucrative business
Tes réprimandes pour les armes chimiques sont une blague
Your scolding for chemical weapons is a joke
Ya pas de raisons logiques pour tuer
There are no logical reasons to kill
Mort au lobbysme, mort aux parasites
Death to lobbyism, death to parasites
On les laisse faire du cash sur les vies qu'ils ont enlevées
We let them make cash on the lives they took
Pis on y pense pas trop
And we don't think about it too much
Jusqu'au contrecoup dans le dos
Until the backlash in the back
On les laisse faire du cash sur les vies qu'ils ont enlevées
We let them make cash on the lives they took
Pis on y pense pas trop
And we don't think about it too much
Jusqu'au contrecoup dans le dos
Until the backlash in the back
Mais quand le système que notre silence soutien
But when the system that our silence supports
Nous revient sous forme d'attentats
Comes back to us in the form of attacks
On pointe du doigt
We point the finger
Et on accuse ce qu'on comprend pas
And we blame what we don't understand
