Ta cigarette au bec
Du haut du firmament
Tu dois r'garder l'Québec
Pis t'dire que c'est ben décevant
Quand tu vois les pas bons
Et tous les p'tits carriéristes
Qui s'présentent aux élections
Comme des vrais opportunistes
Mais loin de moi, René
L'envie d'en beurrer épais
Ou de trop te glorifier
Le monde l'a déjà assez fait
Mais c'est quand même un peu dommage
De voir que de ton héritage
Il reste juste ma p'tite chanson
Pis un boulvard à ton nom
Quand je r'garde ma contrée
Perdue et à l'abandon
Sans projet d'société
Et m'née par des pauvres pions
Champions de la langue de bois
Et du politicaly correct
'Me semble que c'pas ça
Qu'tu voulais pour le Québec
À part de ça mon Ti-Poil
La vie es tu moins plate au ciel ?
Parce qu'ici les temps sont un p'tit peu sombres
J'te dis ça d'même mais r'vire toi pas dans ta tombe
Toi qui étais au coeur
De cette grande révolution
Qui a mis l'Québec à l'heure
De toutes les modernisations
Tu dois être franchement déçu
De voir qu'on retourne en arrière
Vous qui vous étiez battus
Pour qu'on soit maîtres de nos affaires
Pour c'qui est d'la souveraineté
On peut pas dire que c'est la fièvre
Le projet s'est mal renouvelé
Et on en parle du bout des lèvres
Mais quoique qu'à voir les extrémistes
Qui se réclament Patriotes
Avec leur discours passéiste
J'me dis qu'on est loin du jack-pot
Si on r'garde ça René
Les enjeux ont bien changé
Et les jeunes se conscientisent
Faudrait écouter ce qu'ils disent
Et que pour bâtir un pays
Faudrait pas oublier d'inclure
Les citoyens des autres ethnies
Et leur culture
À part de ça mon Ti-Poil
La vie es tu moins plate au ciel ?
Parce qu'ici les temps sont un p'tit peu sombres
J'te dis ça d'même mais r'vire toi pas dans ta tombe
Pour moi l'projet idéal
S'rait d'garder les droits acquis
Et les bases fondamentales
De la sociale-démocratie
Tout en restant vigilants
Face aux courants mondialistes
Mais bien sûr sans pour autant
Devenir anti-capitalistes
Moi j'verrais un pays
Qui ferait un compromis
Entre les mots écologie
Justice et économie
Parce que bien avant ma Patrie
Et toutes les politicailleries
J'prône les causes humanitaires
Et j'suis amoureux de la terre
Alors j'sais pas c'que t'en penses
Mais pour moi ça a ben du sens
De faire quecqu'chose de rassembleur
Qui f'rait d'nous des innovateurs
Une société plus équitable
Où l'développement serait durable
Et là c'est sûr que j'cocherais " oui "
Pour un pays...
Facque d'ici-là j'prends c'qui m'reste
De ma fierté de Québecois
Et j'te dis, René: " à la prochaine fois ! "
Et j'nous dis: " à la prochaine fois ! "
