Je suis si vieux
J'étais si p'tit
Tout juste hier
J'étais nerveux
Je suis parti
C'était la guerre
J'ai fait le v?u
De revenir
En bon état
J' suis rev'nu vieux
Sans avenir
Et sans éclat
Ceux des obus
Ne m'ont pas eu
Je suis ici
J'ai survécu
Je suis rev'nu
En bonne partie
Je traîne mon âme
Qui n'est jamais
Sortie des flammes
J'effraie les dames
Je suis plus laid
Que mes secrets
Je plante ma canne
Dans les chemins
Et j' me revois
Planter mes armes
Dans des gamins
Qui étaient comme moi
Que des enfants
Pas assez grands
Déjà soldats
Que des garçons
Que d' l'innocente
Chair à canon
Je marche seul
Et je me butte
À des voyous
Je les engueule
Ces fils de pute
Je suis jaloux
D' leur ignorance
Qu'ils me brandissent
Comme un drapeau
D' leur insolence
Alors que moi
J' risquais ma peau
Pour ce pays
Que de mon mieux
J'ai défendu
Avec ma vie
Qui n'est pas bien
Mieux que perdue
Je suis un fou
En liberté
Un solitaire
Je survis saoul
Le cœur noyé
Au fond d'une bière
C'est tous les jours
Le même projet
Le même parcours
J'invite ma peine
Et mes regrets
À la taverne
D'où je ressors
En bafouillant
Ma confusion
Comme un homme mort
Mais plus vivant
Qu' ses compagnons
C'est toutes les nuits
Les mêmes chagrins
Les mêmes cauchemars
J' vois mes amis
Mais y a plus rien
Dans leur regard
Faut pas rester
Y faut s' couvrir
Faut qu'on s'en aille
Y faut s' sauver
Y faut courir
Jusqu'aux médailles
Je suis rev'nu
En un morceau
Moi, le héros
Je suis rev'nu
Sous les bravos
Serrer des mains
L'air égaré
Mais décoré
Comme un sapin
Y avait une fête
Mais dans ma tête
Y avait plus rien
Que ces souvenirs
De comportements
Inhumains
Qu'en pleine horreur
Et en pleine peur
Nous empruntions
Nous les garçons
Nous les soldats
Nous les gamins
Au cœur du crime
Autant victimes
Qu'assassins !
