J'Encaisserai Les Coups
Minimum Serious Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

J'ai passer ma vie ? mentir
Me contredire, tout salir
Grogner, mordre tout le temps

J'ai pens? b?tir un empire
Tout va bien mais tout empire
S'il me reste un peu de temps

Puisqu'un jour on parlera de moi
Il faut que tout soit dit

[ Refrain : ]
Alors j'encaisserai les coups
Je me construirait mon ombre
Un meilleur sort, un nouvrau monde
Alors j'encaisserai les coups
Je reconna?trai mes tors
J'y laisserai mon ?me et mon corps

J'ai pass? ma vie a d?truire
Tout ce que j'ai cru b?tir
Tout est facil ? l'instant

On m'avait dit " Sauve le monde "
Vous viendrez crachez sur ma tombe
Le dimanche avec les enfants

Puisqu'un jour on parlera de moi
Il faut que tout soit dit

Refrain

Pour donner enfin, un sens ? demain
Oublier les tors, et se battre encore jusqu'? la fin
On se reverra si je tiens

Refrain [ x2 ]

(Merci ? esther pour cettes paroles)
