Advertise, industrialize, what we consume is what you're into
(Round the world, the future is way too bright, the perfect way)
Nothing to say, nowhere to breathe. Invest, produce and consume
(Far away from what should be the standards, the perfect way)
Oooh Oooh
Invest, harvest
Oooh Oooh
and then produce
Oooh Oooh
Travel the globe
Oooh Oooh
Simply consume

Dear Ed, I hope this email finds you well
So you stuffed and smoked us all up
with your bacon and eggs stories
with Torches of Freedom for the ladies
You ripped us off
Then we all got smoked
You ripped us off
We're surely not stoked
Ending up violating the masses
Tell me how it feels?
And how does your uncle feel?
Propaganda, that's it
What's his take on it?
I want you for the US army
Selling this with the four-minute men
What a clusterfuck, not a solution
This is how you govern
You ripped us off
The president was a Commie
You ripped us off
This United Fruit Company
Ending up violating the masses
Tell me how it feels?
And how does your uncle feel?
Propaganda, that's it
What's his take on it?
I do not kiss you, Ed
Knowing how to impress them
Is knowing how to govern them
I know that way too well
Go to hell!
Ending up violating the masses
Tell me how it feels?
And how does your uncle feel?
Propaganda, that's it
What's his take on it?

You believe all those social borders are open to anyone who wants it
You enslave yourself to the established order willing to be part of it
Oooh Oooh
Permeability and meritocracy. Is this really what you believe?
Illusion has enslaved you while you should already be acting
Oooh Oooh
Being socially recognized, valued and promoted?
Is it worth saying that no one
is more or less
than any other, let's forget this dogma
Keep faith, be proud of who you are

Wage war in the name of peace, we should have thought about that
Make war in the name of Peace, how clever!
This Special operation
Corporate greed offers jobs
(We're) supposed to manage our lives
Supposed to safeguard our interests
Subpar prevails everywhere
We didn't stop believing
But yeah your lies we stopped buying
For the sake of it? Your lies we stopped buying
Words matter too
When I think that back in time
We used to have guest rooms
When I think that before carsharing
You could drive on your own while daydreaming
Without feeling guilty for making no money out of it
Video surveillance has turned into
Pure video protection
We didn't stop believing
But yeah your lies we stopped buying
For the sake of it? Your lies we stopped buying
Words matter too
We didn't stop believing
But yeah your lies we stopped buying
For the sake of it? Your lies we stopped buying
Words matter too

Alicia's working every day
She is not used to shy away
From her colleagues' gloomy thoughts
In the front, smiling at everyone
Do not cry
In offices, workshops and factories
She's handling so much sadness
Why can't you say (why can't you see) this is not her dream?
For her you can't feel empathy
Why can't you say (why can't you see) that she is struggling?
Experiencing patriarchy
Back home she's the emotional listener
Boring out
Besides dealing with her daily tasks
She is the one listening to her partner
He says he has no time to listen to her
Loneliness
So she decides to go and pay for a shrink
At least someone will listen to her
Why can't you say (why can't you see) this is not her dream?
For her you can't feel empathy
Why can't you say (why can't you see) that she is struggling?

I've heard about a place, a social space
where we can really meet
Without paying for a coke
without any button for likes
only smiles and high fives
Where pooling is more important
We're all in the gutter
but we're talking to each other
Chatting, drinking, sharing and living
A true social facilitator
Cafes & Coffee Shops
Community Centers
Bars & Hangouts
How they get you through the day
The needed third place
The Great Good Place for a common good
a physical hybrid space
The third corner of the triangle
Connecting my flat and my office
This is home
We're all in the gutter
but we're talking to each other
Chatting, drinking, sharing and living
A true social facilitator
Cafes & Coffee Shops
Community Centers
Bars & Hangouts
How they get you through the day

Look what has become of you
It took advantage of you
Delusions when you were twenty
Stopped studying, stopped socializing
Now turning 40, no job, no friends and surely no family
It's hidden inside
It's creeping you out
It's you and you, full of anxiety
Isolate, discriminate,
(there we go)
It's killing you
First, it's you
(and you never thought this could happen to them)
Second, it's them
Look what has become of you
They are making fun of you
Never had a drink until you were 30
Now 50, ashamed and blurry
Isolate, discriminate,
(there we go)
It's killing you
First, it's you
(and you never thought this could happen to them)
Second, it's them
Isolate, discriminate,
(there we go)
It's killing you
First, it's you
(and you never thought this could happen to them)
Second, it's them

And we're never gone until we're dead
And we're never going home until we're dead
That, you understand
No we're not done yet
And we're never going home until we're dead
That, you understand
No we're not done yet
So we've been around
For over two decades
We've been through bad times
But we always had it in our brain
So here's that record
It's surely not in vain
Y2K is far
22 let us see what you bring
And we're never going home until we're dead
That, you understand
We're surely not done yet
This is a fact so let's just admit
We'll stick around for some more years
We'll be with you
22 let us see what you bring

Safe or Sorry

Welcome to my city
It's now a museum
Where it is too expensive to live
And where all the houses
Became fancy hotels
Where you pay a visit and spend all of your money
Here same colors
There same logos
Same decorations
Welcome to Disney
Here same colors
There same logos
Wait, come in and play
Just come in and pay
So you went for so called safety
When what I wanted was to get lost and to stroll
I definitely liked it better when the crowd was its own show
Welcome to my city
It's so much safer-watched
cameras on every corner
security pornography
Is this what you need
To feel good in here
When you pay a visit and spend all of your money?
Cardboard box here
Tent under a bridge there
Loneliness has reached us
Where's the party?
Cardboard box here
Tent under a bridge there
In my city
Are we safe or sorry?
So you went for so called safety
When what I wanted was to get lost and to stroll
I definitely liked it better when the crowd was its own show

From Alamo To Tobago

Our lives are empty
Fantasy is the way for us
To make them up and
eventually, we sell them
We know the rules
we roll the dice
And we pay the price
We sell our souls
We sell our souls
We'll make you try and make you buy
And we will surely make you cry
Deep inside you're more than a billboard
We will make you die
A target to hit
bought with goodies
Products you don't care about
but proudly display
Brands you don't know but defend
They seriously got into your head
We got in your head
We got in your head
We'll make you try and make you buy
And we will surely make you cry
Deep inside you're more than a billboard
We will make you die
We'll make you try and make you buy
And we will surely make you cry
Deep inside you're more than a billboard
We will make you die
We'll make you try and make you buy (From Alamo to Tobago)
And we will surely make you cry (We buy comfort, control your fear)
Deep inside you're more than a billboard (From Alamo to Tobago)
We will make you die (We will make you die)

Where are you now?
It seems you've gone so far away
Leaving me all alone behind this rotten fence
So what's the plan?
I'll travel the whole world to bring you back
I'll fight these demons and will cheer it up
And will be back on track
You say that you don't know
And that there is no place to go
You say that you don't know
And that you'll be forever gone
Where have you been now?
What have you done?
Smile at me like no one's there and I'll be gone
Where have you been now?
Where have you gone?
Please cheer up at least once more and I'll be done
You say that you don't know
And that there is no place to go
You say that you don't know
And that there is no place to go

"I wonder what it means", not "Tell me what it means" she said
Like if HE (mis)got it
Misnamed things add to the world's unhappiness
Blame it on patriarchy's bliss.
How many more men explaining to women
how to pronounce their own name?
How much more mansplaining will prevail
in the name of an ancestral game?
Don't interrupt me
I am not done
Your advice on my periods? - No thanks, she said
And when LyMAN Abbot explained
why women didn't want suffrage While claiming
He was speaking for the silent of them.
Don't interrupt me
I am not done
And when he explained mansplaining to me, she said
Did he simply realize?
Eyes fixed on the fuzzy far horizon
of his own authority
Don't interrupt me
I am not done

Put untruth back in its place
Believe in what we feel
And act accordingly
Force our way into the present
Try and fail this time
Try again and Fail better
Persist. Attack. And Build
No more, no more waiting
And no more hoping
No more letting ourselves
Be distracted
No more, no more waiting
And no more hoping
No more letting ourselves
No more, no more waiting
And no more hoping
No more letting ourselves
Be distracted
No more, no more waiting
And no more hoping
No more letting ourselves

We are the bored generation
Trusting what we found
It's either black or white
We're saying no
We are the bored generation
We are lost inside
It's either black or white
We're saying no
I read the story today, there's something wrong in there
I surfed and searched and took it black
then white, then black, let's admit that
What they say is reality
I won't go on more with it
My trust in them is certainty
So let me spread the word, yeah just crown me
We are the bored generation
Trusting what we found
It's either black or white
We're saying no
We are the bored generation
We are lost inside
It's either black or white
We're saying no
What are they gonna say
When after a while, I will find out
That in this case
I should have gone grey?
Whatsoever
I'll stick to what I'm told to say
We are the bored generation
Trusting what we found
It's either black or white
We're saying no
We are the bored generation
We are lost inside
It's either black or white
We're saying no
