Lyrics

Ca fait deux ans que je traîne
Que je peine, que je saigne
Dans cette prison
J’ai pas tiré sur la femme du libraire
J'étais juste là par hasard
T’as coulé au fond Joe
T’es derrière les barreaux
T’as coulé au fond Joe
On donne pas cher de ta peau
J’ai pas compris quand l’avocat m’a dit
Mon p’tit ça va te coûter cher
Moi je voulais juste un bouquin à 20 balles
«La vengeance du tueur cannibale»
T’as coulé au fond Joe
T’es derrière les barreaux
T’as coulé au fond Joe
On donne pas cher de ta peau
Devinez qui vient me voir samedi soir
Prendre un verre, le libraire
Avec sa nouvelle femme
Il dit qu’il est content de moi j’comprends pas
J’ai pas payé ce que je lui dois
T’as coulé au fond Joe
T’es derrière les barreaux
T’as coulé au fond Joe
On donne pas cher de ta peau
T’as coulé au fond Joe
T’es derrière les barreaux
T’as coulé au fond Joe
On donne pas cher de ta peau

Lyrics translation

I've been hanging around for two years.
That I'm hurting, that I'm bleeding
In this prison
I didn't shoot the bookseller's wife.
I was just there by chance
You went deep, Joe.
You're behind bars
You went deep, Joe.
We give cheap of your skin
I didn't understand when the lawyer told me
Baby, it's gonna cost you a lot.
I just wanted a 20-ball book.
"Revenge of the cannibal killer»
You went deep, Joe.
You're behind bars
You went deep, Joe.
We give cheap of your skin
Guess who comes to see me Saturday night
Have a drink, the bookseller
With his new wife
He says he's happy with me I don't understand
I didn't pay what I owe him.
You went deep, Joe.
You're behind bars
You went deep, Joe.
We give cheap of your skin
You went deep, Joe.
You're behind bars
You went deep, Joe.
We give cheap of your skin
