Lyrics
Mais comment on faisait avant, sans télécommande?
Il paraît qu? on se déplaçait avant pour zapper, ça c? est étonnant !
Maintenant, 250 chaînes et la parabole.
Avant, 250 pages et même pas ras-le-bol.
La littérature, et dire qu? un jour ça a été fun,
Mais j? troquerais pas tout Zola contre ma Playstation,
(hey hey) ma nostalgie a des limites,
Et la technologie efface même un passé indélibile (Right).
Mais comment on faisait avant?
A l?époque d? Eve et Adam, sans le béton et l? air nauséabond,
Sans les gaz d?échappement qui font monter le mercure,
Dur de supporter l? air pur.
Refrain: Mais comment on faisait avant?
Mais comment on faisait sans?
Mais comment on faisait, comment on faisait,
Comment on faisait, comment on faisait, comment on faisait avant?
Mais comment j? faisais avant hein? Sans le net et mon phone
Pour liquider mon solde et kiffer l? insomnie?
Des destins scellés illico-presto,
Un clic, un texto, ciao !
Mais comment on faisait avant, sans la chirurgie?
Il paraît qu? quand t? avais une sale gueule, c?était pour la vie.
Mais comment on faisait avant hein? Avant que la science progresse?
Des rumeurs disent qu?à l?époque les gens mourraient de vieillesse?
Non? maintenant, les virus ont tout infesté,
Avant, il paraît qu? on s? aimait sans peur des MST.
Qu? on kiffait sans Despé et qu? on riait sans hit,
Seulement maintenant on redescend vite?
Maintenant, les mec regardent la beauté intérieure.
C? est ça ! Un tas de faux culs qui kiffent sur les faux seins.
Faut pas s? voiler la face, le naturel c? est loin
Et si t? as pas le style à la mode t? es rien !
Mais comment on faisait avant les clips pour avoir le style?
Avant le style pour porter les sapes de 80 en l? an 2000?
Avant l? an 2000 pour rire du futur d? antan:
Combinaisons argentées et véhicules volants.
Hier on se disait: «Demain sera un jour meilleur «Demain on se dira: «Hier on faisait une petite erreur ! «Comment comment comment on faisait avant? C? est vrai?
Et au fait comment on fera après?
Lyrics translation
But how did we do before, without a remote?
I hear what? we used to move around to zap, what the hell? is amazing !
Now 250 channels and the parable.
Before, 250 pages and not even full.
Literature, and say what? one day it was fun,
But j? would not trade all Zola for my Playstation,
(hey hey) my nostalgia has limits,
And technology even erases an indelible past (Right).
But how did we do it before?
A l?era d? Eve and Adam, without the concrete and the? nauseous air,
Without the D-gases?exhaust that drive up mercury,
Hard to bear l? clean air.
Chorus: but how did we do before?
But how could we do without it?
But how we did, how we did,
How did we do it, how did we do it, how did we do it before?
But how j? you used to do that, didn't you? Without the net and my phone
To liquidate my balance and kiffer l? insomnia?
Fate sealed illico-presto,
A click, a text, HELLO !
But how did we do it before, without surgery?
I hear what? when t? had a bad mouth, c?was for life.
But how did we do before, huh? Before science progresses?
Rumors say what?to l?time people would die of old age?
No? now the viruses have infested everything,
Before, I heard what? we know? loved without fear of STDs.
What? we were just fucking around and what? we laughed without hit,
Only now we're going back down fast?
Now the guys look at the inner beauty.
C? that's it ! A bunch of fake asses whipping on fake tits.
Don't you have to? veil the face, the natural c? is far away
What if t? don't have the fashionable style t? it's nothing !
But how did we do before the clips to get the style?
Before the style to wear the sapes of 80 in l? year 2000?
Before l? year 2000 to laugh at the future d? yesteryear:
Silver suits and flying vehicles.
Hier on se disait: «Demain sera un jour meilleur «Demain on se dira: «Hier on faisait une petite erreur ! «Comment comment comment on faisait avant? C? est vrai?
Et au fait comment on fera après?
