Ça n'est pas ce qu'on fait qui compte,
C'est l'histoire x2
La façon dont on l'raconte
Pour se faire valoir.
L'important, dans la bataille,
C'est l'histoire x2
Qu'on découpe ou qu'on détaille
Selon l'auditoire.
Face aux Sarrazins d'Espagne,
En voyant son olifant,
Les soldats de Charlemagne
Disaient à Roland :
"Ça n'est pas ce qu'on fait qui compte,
C'est notoire x2
Ça n'est pas ce qu'on fait qui compte,
C'est l'histoire."
La glorieuse histoire de France
Est truffée d'assassinats,
De massacres et de violences
Et autres coups d'état.
Après tout, quand on y pense,
Bonaparte et Attila
Ont plus d'morts sur la conscience
Que Landru et Borgia.
C'est quand même un peu étrange,
Quand on repense au passé,
On dirait que les temps changent
Et qu'à la vérité
Ça n'est pas ce qu' on fait qui compte,
C'est l'histoire x2
La façon dont on l'raconte
Pour se faire bien voir.
L'important dans la bataille,
C'est l'histoire 2x ,
Qu'on découpe ou qu'on détaille
Selon l'auditoire.
On inverse un peu les rôles,
On rajoute un petit morceau.
Ça rend les récits plus drôles,
Et pour être un héros,
À l'heure où l'on fait les comptes
Pour la gloire x2
Ça n'est pas ce qu'on fait qui compte,
C'est l'histoire.
L'aventure est éphémère,
Mais si la vie n'a qu'un temps,
Le récit qu'on peut en faire
Dure indéfiniment,
Et pour peu qu'on soit habile
À savoir où va le vent,
On peut être indélébile
Jusqu'à la fin des temps.
Comme le nez de Cléopâtre,
Dagobert son pantalon,
La poule au pot d'Henri quatre
Ou le vase de Soissons,
Ça n'est pas ce qu'on fait qui compte,
C'est l'histoire x2
La façon dont on l'raconte
Pour se faire bien voir.
L'important dans la bataille,
C'est l'histoire x2
Qu'on découpe ou qu'on détaille
Selon l'auditoire.
Dans les débats politiques
Juste avant les élections
Aux moments les plus critiques
À la télévision,
À l'heure où l'on fait les comptes,
C' est notoire x2
Ça n'est pas ce qu'on fait qui compte,
C'est l'histoire.
Lorsque par inadvertance,
Si on a vraiment besoin,
Dans des cas d'extrême urgence
On assomme un crétin,
On n'a pas toujours la chance
D'avoir les témoins pour soi,
Quand on est dans l'existence
Un peu maladroit.
Dans les grands procès d'assises,
On assiste quelquefois
À de drôles de vocalises
Et suivant l'avocat,
Ça n'est pas ce qu'on fait qui compte,
C'est l'histoire x2
La façon dont on l'raconte
Pour le faire savoir.
L'important dans la bataille
C'est l'histoire x2
Qu'on découpe ou qu'on détaille
Selon l'auditoire.
Combien de têtes victimes
D'un bon mot du procureur
Juste pour gagner l'estime
De ses supérieurs.
A l'heure où l'on fait les comptes
Pour la gloire x2
Ça n'est pas ce qu'on fait qui compte,
C'est notoire,
Ça n'est pas ce qu'on fait qui compte,
C'est l'histoire.
