Lyrics Les tyrans Véronique Sanson

Les tyrans


Vous croyez que j’étais costaud
Et vous aviez raison
Dans l’au-delà je rejoindrai tous les tyrans
Ils ont des comptes à me rendre
Mao, Pétain, Staline, Hitler, Mussolini, Chou En-Lai, Tchang Kaï-Chek,
Gengis Khan, Attila, Pol Pot, Guillaume le Conquérant, Rudolph Hess, Eichman
Tous les rois imbéciles
Qui n’ont régné qu’en tuant
J’ai toujours vécu dans un monde d’hommes
En plein sourire dans un non-dit
Celui qui a mangé la pomme
C’est pas une femme
Dieu me l’a dit
Tous n’ont été que violence
Et constructeurs de destruction
Et si les vraies valeurs leur manquent
Je peux leur vendre mes illusions
Je renaîtrai toujours de mes cendres
Qu’ont provoqué leurs incendies
Pathétiques, miséreuses et dantesques
Impitoyables et sans merci
Vous croyez que j’étais costaud
Et vous aviez raison
Dans l’au-delà je rejoindrai tous les tyrans
Ils ont des comptes à me rendre
Pinochet, Ceaucescu, Franco, Mobutu, Noriega et Duvallier
Bokassa, Amin Dada, Néron, Torquemada
Tous les rois imbéciles
Qui n’ont régné qu’en tuant
Je ne vivrai pas dans un mouroir
Personne n’aura jamais ma peau
Mes solitudes obligatoires
Resteront clouées dans mon dos
Au plus profond de mes espoirs
J’ai crû qu’on m’enverrait plus haut
Celui qui est venu me voir
Avait du venin dans ses os
Il ne saura jamais, jamais la fin de l’histoire

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
