Come on
Disenchanted generation
It'll be okay, it'll be okay
Come on
The world belongs to us
What do we do with it
It'll be okay, it'll be okay
Bad news nonstop
The speech never changes
It's always the same ones
On the evening talk show
There's the crisis, we're broke
A big hole in the funds
Too much CO2 in the air
Putin waging war
Pandemic, tsunamis
Pollution, shortages
Terror attacks, homeless people
There's Plus belle la vie
Living on Earth
Isn't always joyful
I'm often angry
I work myself up
Two seconds from blowing up
Like a bomb in the hold
Like ammonium nitrate
In Beirut's port
Our lives don't matter
It's the money it costs them
We all look for a place in the sun
A little slice of horizon
Having a sea view
In a concrete landscape
Come on
Disenchanted generation
It'll be okay, it'll be okay
Come on
The world belongs to us
What do we do with it
It'll be okay, it'll be okay
What's the scenery
I leave my little brother
I'd like to make him
An imaginary world
There'd be no more weapons
Of war except in GTA
There'd be no more plastic crap
That we threw there
Only the speeches would remain
From Mandela
I'd no longer see kids
Coming to beg there
I don't wanna be human anymore
I wanna leave here
Go see the aliens
See if it's better than down here
I can't stand seeing families
In Quechua tents
Seeing young people in line
In front of Pôle emploi
I can't breathe watching George Floyd
Choking on Insta
If you run into injustice
Turn on your camera
We all look for a place in the sun
A little slice of horizon
Having a sea view
In a concrete landscape
Come on
Disenchanted generation
It'll be okay, it'll be okay
Come on
The world belongs to us
What do we do with it
It'll be okay, it'll be okay
We all look for a place in the sun
A little slice of horizon
Having a sea view
In a concrete landscape
When this world scares me
I crank the music up loud
I listen to Mylène Farmer
She talks about my generation
Come on
Disenchanted generation
It'll be okay, it'll be okay
Come on
The world belongs to us
What do we do with it
It'll be okay, it'll be okay
Come on
Disenchanted generation
It'll be okay, it'll be okay
Come on
The world belongs to us
What do we do with it
It'll be okay, it'll be okay

SONG MEANING

Ready for a reality check served over an electro beat? Suzane’s ‘Génération Désenchantée’ is a punchy manifesto for young people who feel swamped by bad news but still refuse to give up. War, climate change, pandemics, social injustice – the verses fire off headline after headline like a never-ending doom-scroll. Yet every chorus fights back with the mantra ‘Ça va aller’ (‘It’s gonna be okay’), turning despair into a rallying cry. By name-checking Mylène Farmer’s 90s classic ‘Désenchantée’, Suzane links past and present generations, showing that disillusion may be timeless, but so is the desire to dream bigger.

🌞 Beneath the frustration lives a stubborn hope: the search for ‘une place au soleil’, a personal patch of sunlight where concrete turns into coastline and brothers inherit a kinder planet. The song imagines a world without plastic oceans, refugee tents, or viral videos of injustice – a place where Mandela’s words outlive warfare and gamers keep violence locked inside GTA. In short, Suzane paints a stark picture of today while daring listeners to picture something better, crank up the volume, and turn anger into action.
