Alfa Rococo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Qui se prennent pour les maîtres
Il y a d'horribles gens
Et il y en a des traîtres
Il y a d'horribles gens
Qui se prennent au sérieux
Il y a d'horribles gens
Qui tuent au nom de Dieu
Qu'on écoute bêtement
Il y a d'horribles gens
Qui profitent des autres
Il y a d'horribles gens
À qui c'est jamais la faute
Il y a d'horribles gens
Qui rient des malheureux
Il y a d'horribles gens
Et y'en a des pires qu'eux
Il y a d'horribles gens
Qu'on aime aveuglément
Pré-chorus :
Il y a des millions de gens
Pour qui rien n'est possible
Il y a des millions de gens
Menés par les gens horribles
Refrain :
Il y a d'horribles gens
Il y a d'horribles gens
Il y a d'horribles gens
Il y a d'horribles gens
Il y a d'horribles gens

Il y a d'horribles gens
Perfides, etc.
Il y a d'horribles gens
Qui fabriquent des armes
Il y a d'horribles gens
Prêts à vendre leur âme
Il y a d'horribles gens
Qu'on élit président

(Merci à Pierre pour cettes paroles)
The lyrics to the song "Horribles gens" highlight the presence of despicable people in society who are self-righteous, treacherous, and take themselves too seriously. These people kill in the name of God, laugh at the misfortunes of others, and take advantage of them while never taking responsibility for their actions. The singer points out that these individuals often hold positions of power and influence, and that millions of people are led by them, making it nearly impossible for anything to change. The chorus serves as an echoing reminder of the song's title and strikes a chord with the audience, further emphasizing the magnitude of the problem the singer is trying to address.
The song is an fervent call to action for individuals to open their eyes and not blindly follow those in power who are abusing their positions. The pre-chorus alludes to the vast number of people who feel helpless and unable to make a difference, while the chorus underscores the ubiquity of these "horrible people" in our world. The singer seems to offer a glimmer of hope in the final stanza, acknowledging those who still extend a helping hand despite the existence of "horrible people" and urging listeners to take similar actions.
Overall, the lyrics to "Horribles gens" serve as a powerful and thought-provoking social commentary on the state of humanity and the need for awareness and action to create change.
