Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Parlez plus bas
J'n'entends plus la petite voix
Ecoutez-la
see'est pas d'être dans ma tête
Qui autorise n'importe quoi
Vous savez pas see'que fait ma tête
Vous jouez à la bataille
Vous jouez à
Sous mon crâne e'est le brouhaha d'un hall de gare
Une foule pas inamicale bien trop bavarde
see'est pas d'être dans ma tête
Qui autorise n'importe quoi
Vous savez pas see'que fait ma tête
Vous jouez à
Vous jouez à
Vous jouez à
