Lyrics

Alors le genre «Quelle était la question ?»
On se penche sur des sujets de fond
Entre les repas, jactance à-tout-va
Pas dans leur assiette, mais à part ça
A part ça, à part ça?
Pendant qu’un mini-monde tourne en rond
Au petit salon des grandes opinions
J’ai demandé l’heure pour un vague à l'âme
Côté coeur aux cris et aux larmes
Citoyens. A part ça?
Vous ceci, moi cela
On ne s’en sort pas
Nos avis sur la vie
Oui mais à part ça?
Avec le tic d’une critique facile
Et le hic d’un manque de style
Chacun s’exprime sur tout ce qui s’imprime
Entre héros et zéros on s’incline
A part ça, à part ça?
Tout va bien, on a vue sur la rue
Au cirque des prophètes apparus
Dans ces histoires à crever assis
Entre deux blablas, je me suis dit
A part ça, à part ça?
Vous ceci, moi cela
A part ça
Nos avis sur la vie
A part ça

Lyrics translation

So the " what was the question ?»
We look at substantive topics
Between meals, bragging to-do
Not on their plate, but other than that
Apart from that, apart from that?
While a mini-World Goes Round
At the small salon of great opinions
I asked the time for a wave to the soul
Heart side to cries and tears
Citizen. Other than that?
You this, me this
We can't make it.
Our views on life
Yeah, but other than that?
With the tic of easy criticism
And the trouble of a lack of style
Everyone expresses himself on everything that is printed
Between heroes and zeros we bow
Apart from that, apart from that?
It's all right, we have a view of the street
At the circus of The appeared prophets
In these stories to die sitting
Between two blablas, I said to myself
Apart from that, apart from that?
You this, me this
Other than that
Our views on life
Other than that
