Si j'etais peintre ou macon


Si j'étais peintre ou maçon
Métallo ou forgeron
Que je travaille à la chaîne
En écoutant ma rengaine
Vous vous feriez une raison
Si j'etais peintre ou maçon

Mais je gagne des millions
Et combats à ma façon
Votre bien-aimé système
Et votre teint devient blême
Quand je dis révolution
Moi qui gagne des millions

Vous avez peur d'une chanson
Peur de l'avenir
Vous manquez d'imagination
Jusqu'à en mourir

Si je sortais de prison
Si je couchais sous les ponts
Vous vous diriez c'est la haine
Ce serait pour votre aubaine
Une belle explication
Si je sortais de prison

Moi qui croque vos millions
Quand je chante abolissons
Votre bien-aimé système
Vous criez que je blasphème
De vos profits le saint nom
Moi qui croque vos millions

Vous avez peur d'une chanson
Peur de l'avenir
Vous manquez d'imagination
Jusqu'à en mourir

Quand je chantais pour deux ronds
Dormais sur un paillasson
Vous disiez c'est la bohème
Passé l'temps des cafés-crème
Il changera d'opinion
Quand je chantais pour deux ronds

Avec ou sans vos millions
Dissippez vos illusions
Vous ne m'aurez pas quand même
Etre fidèle à moi-même
Reste ma seule ambition
Avec ou sans vos millions

Nous qui sommes des millions
Vous déclarons sans façon
Gardez bien votre système
Car il changera quand même
Que vous le vouliez ou non
Nous qui sommes des millions

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
