Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Naze naze naze nazionaliste
Bol bol bol bol bolchévique
Ane ane anarchiste
Mec mec mec mec mécanique
Fan fan fan fan fanatique
Sauce sauce sauce sauce socialiste
Mille mille mille militariste
Regarde toi un peu
Regarde ce que tu fais
Ne baisse pas les yeux
Regarde qui tu es, eh!
Regarde toi un peu
Tu te prends pour un dieu
Tu n'est qu'un petit pion
D'un grand parti de cons, oh!
As tu choisi ton camp
Celui des partisans
Celui des délinquants
Celui des charlatans, eh!
Je ne suis d'aucun camp
Ni perdant, ni gagnant
Etre toujours hors-jeu
Ce que j'aime le mieux, oh!

A poil les militants!
The lyrics of Molodoï's song À poil les militants depict the different political and social labels that individuals often put on themselves or are attached to them by others. The song opens with a series of labels: communist, nationalist, Bolshevik, anarchist, mechanical, fanatic, socialist, and militarist. The repetition of these labels creates a sense of monotony, highlighting how individuals often fall into one of these categories and are unable to break free from it.
The song then takes a critical turn, encouraging the listener to take a look at themselves and their actions. The lyrics suggest that individuals often become so attached to a particular label or party that they forget who they are as an individual. The call to "regard toi un peu" ("look at yourself a little") encourages individuals to step back and re-examine their beliefs and actions.
The song then concludes with a series of additional labels such as alcoholic, athletic, psychotic, epileptic, atomic, capitalist, narcotic, and chaotic. These labels convey a sense of confusion and fragmentation, suggesting that individuals are unable to fully define themselves or their beliefs.
Overall, Molodoï's song À poil les militants is a critique of the labels and categories that individuals use to define themselves and others. The song encourages individuals to break free from these labels, examine themselves, and to be true to themselves instead of blindly following a particular ideology.
