Alors On Danse
CDM Project Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Qui dit taf te dit les thunes,
Qui dit argent dit dépenses,
Et qui dit crédit dit créance,
Qui dit dette te dit huissier,
Et lui dit assis dans la merde.
Qui dit Amour dit les gosses,
Dit toujours et dit divorce.
car les problèmes ne viennent pas seuls.
Qui dit crise te dit monde
dit famine et dit tiers-monde.
Qui dit fatigue dit réveil
encore sourd de la veille,
Alors on sort pour oublier tous les problèmes.
Alors on danse... Et là tu t'dis que c'est fini
car pire que ça ce serait la mort.
Quand tu crois enfin que tu t'en sors
quand y en a plus et ben y en a encore!
Est-ce la zique ou des problèmes,
les problèmes ou bien la musique?
Ça t'prend les tripes ça te prend la tête
et puis tu pries pour que ça s'arrête.
Mais c'est ton corps, c'est pas le ciel
alors tu t'bouches plus les oreilles.
Et là tu cries encore plus fort et ça persiste...
Alors on chante
Lalalalalala, Lalalalalala,
Alors on chante
Lalalalalala, Lalalalalala
Alors on chante Et puis seulement quand c'est fini, alors on danse.
Alors on danse Eh ben y en a encore
