Vive la France
Mr. T Experience Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Pourquoi pas se raser les jambes
par-ce que peux de cheveaux
peut faire beaucoup de difference
de plus en plus que ce que
tu essais de prouver
je sais que tu as l'orgeil
et on croit alors
tu penses que c'est une declaration

que tu as le droit a posseder
ta laideur la beaute c'est un epiderme
et tout le monde est coquet
a l'interieur et je crois en ca,
alors ne pas le pousser
se tu ne le fais pas pour moi
fais ca pour l'amour
fais ca pour les petits enfants
fais ca pour la paix et l'humanite
et fais ca pour la republique de la belle France
et cherie si tu te raserais les jambes
le monde serait un meilleur monde

pour moi et toi et pour les francais
Vive la France.

Overall, the lyrics to "Vive La France" encourage personal growth and reflection while also celebrating the beauty and pride of France.
