| How easy it was to explain it in four chords
|
| In this form imposed by the memory market
|
| And test, you understand me, but you hold too tight
|
| That I can't breathe and I can't see further
|
| And you certainly don't learn it at university
|
| Or inside your apartment in any city
|
| Basically we are the same head, but you smell good
|
| I don't know the difference between the cross and forgiveness
|
| So the newspapers all write the same thing
|
| The coffee tastes like nothing and then I'll buy you a rose
|
| From the tired Pakistani who disturbs this dinner
|
| We still wonder if it was worth it
|
| To entrust the soul to a house of cards
|
| Alone in the country that looks like a shoe
|
| How can I then tell those who have loved me a little
|
| That it is too much freedom that has reduced me to chains
|
| And test, you are the number I bet on
|
| And that makes you my most ruthless enemy
|
| You tell me that there is always a solution
|
| That it is enough to reinvent oneself, to pursue an illusion
|
| Basically I understand you, head, you have a kind soul
|
| But I this illusion, I can't feel it
|
| So the banks lend names to everyone
|
| Your grandmother, as always, will give you gloves
|
| Work is to despise others for twenty-four hours
|
| And we still break our bones for love
|
| A desperate love for all this farce
|
| Together in the country that looks like a shoe |
