Les Cowboys Fringants

Lyrics 1994 Les Cowboys Fringants

 1.130

1994


J'avais pas mal poché mes deux derniers semestres
Si on exclut le cours de randonné pédestre
Mince consolation entre mes abandonnons et mes autres échecs
J'me disais que j'étais loin de décrocher mon DEC

Cette année terminé le camp de vacances
J'avais dis aux copains de prendre leurs distances
Plus question de niaiser il fallait travailler et être à mon affaire
J'parlais même vaguement de devenir notaire

Mais le côté studieux et les bonnes intentions
S'effondraient à vu d'oeil à force de tentations
Car l'appelle invitant du salon étudiant et des parties de cartes
L'emportait bien souvent sur Platon et Descartes

Pour ne pas couler il fallait jouer de ruses
Les travaux en retard toujours la bonne excuse
Même prêt à payer un obscure bolé pour qu'il mettre mon nom
En haut de son travail c'est dire si j'étais con

Octobre arrivé on fumait des cigarettes
Achetées à l'unité, s'prenant pour des poètes
Le vent dans les cheveux, un sourire niaiseux, un cartable sous la nuque
On regardait les filles pendant leur cours d'éduc'

Et lorsqu'il nous prenait des envies fainéantes
Le local puant de la radio étudiante
Devenait le repère, parmi tous nos confrères fumeur de bats
Des gentils pouilleux en sciences humaines pas de maths

J'ai souvenir de ce prof un peu baba-cool
Qui jasait avec nous en nous battant au pool
Il me parlait de la vie et du bonheur aussi de fait ce que l'on veut
Parce-qu'il voyait surtout que j'était pas sérieux

Car l'élève modèle est vite redevenu
La mascotte du CEGEP et le roi des pogn-cul
Mais si je restait là malgré mon profil bas c'était pour une raison
Qui était une jolie fille aux cheveux blonds

C'est vrai qu'elle était belle, elle s'appelait Manon
Je l'avait embrassé au party de mi-session
Mais la réalité, celle qui fait dégriser vient parfois vous frapper
À coups de poings sur le gueule par son ex de sept pieds

C'est le lendemain de ce revers cruel
Qu'on me mit à la porte le cul sur une pelle
Même que le directeur me dit avec humeur avant que je m'en aille
Il valait surement mieux me trouver du travail

Et ce noeud-papillon que je devais enfiler
Dans ce buffet chinois qui m'avait engagé
Me faisait regretter tout le bon temps passer à flâner au CEGEP
Quand on jouait aux trou d'cul en écoutant Led Zep
Quand on jouait aux trou d'cul en écoutant...

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
