Lyrics
On m’a appris à manger
On m’a appris mon âge
On m’a conseillé de changer
Et de corriger mon langage
On leur apprend surtout
A faire comme on leur dit
Parce qu’en fait après tout
Y aura le paradis
Paradis
Paradis
Paradis
Paradis
Ils nous apprennent ce qu’ils sont
D’où ils viennent
A leur façon
Ce qu’ils aimeraient qu’on devienne
Ils nous apprennent ce qu’ils ont cru comprendre
Et souvent même en refusant d’apprendre
Ce qu’ils sont
D’où ils viennent
A leur façon ce qu’ils aimeraient qu’on devienne
Ils nous apprennent d’abord ce qui les justifie
Alors je me méfie
On m’a appris à marcher
On m’a appris à faire gaffe
On m’a conseillé de chercher
Et qui plus est de trouver du taf
On lui apprend tellement
On lui apprend si peu
On lui apprend évidemment
Que si il veut vraiment il peut
Ils nous apprennent ce qu’ils sont
D’où ils viennent
A leur façon
Ce qu’ils aimeraient qu’on devienne
Ils nous apprennent ce qu’ils ont cru comprendre
Et souvent même en refusant d’apprendre
Ce qu’ils sont
D’où ils viennent
A leur façon ce qu’ils aimeraient qu’on devienne
Ils nous apprennent d’abord ce qui les justifie
Alors je me méfie
Ce qu’ils sont
D’où ils viennent
A leur façon
Ce qu’ils aimeraient qu’on devienne
Ils nous apprennent ce qu’ils ont cru comprendre
Et souvent même en refusant d’apprendre
Ce qu’ils sont
D’où ils viennent
A leur façon ce qu’ils aimeraient qu’on devienne
Ils nous apprennent d’abord ce qui les justifie
Alors je me méfie
On m’a appris beaucoup
J’ai pas appris tout seul
Que ça ne valait le coup
Que si j’ouvrais ma gueule
On m’a appris beaucoup
J’ai pas appris tout seul
Que ça ne valait le coup
Que si j’ouvrais ma gueule
On m’a appris beaucoup
J’ai pas appris tout seul
Lyrics translation
I was taught to eat.
I was taught my age
I was advised to change
And correct my language
We teach them mostly
To do as they are told
Because in fact after all
There will be paradise
Paradise
Paradise
Paradise
Paradise
They teach us what they are
Where they come from
In their own way
What they would like us to become
They teach us what they thought they understood
And often even refusing to learn
What they are
Where they come from
In their own way what they would like us to become
They first teach us what justifies them
So I'm wary
I was taught to walk.
I was taught to be careful.
I was advised to look for
And what's more is to find taf
We teach him so much
We teach him so little
We teach him obviously
That if he really wants he can
They teach us what they are
Where they come from
In their own way
What they would like us to become
They teach us what they thought they understood
And often even refusing to learn
What they are
Where they come from
In their own way what they would like us to become
They first teach us what justifies them
So I'm wary
What they are
Where they come from
In their own way
What they would like us to become
They teach us what they thought they understood
And often even refusing to learn
What they are
Where they come from
In their own way what they would like us to become
They first teach us what justifies them
So I'm wary
I've been taught a lot
I didn't learn by myself.
That it wasn't worth it
That if I open my mouth
I've been taught a lot
I didn't learn by myself.
That it wasn't worth it
That if I open my mouth
I've been taught a lot
I didn't learn by myself.
