Gagnants / Perdants [English translation]

All these beautiful made-up games

To overtake the first ones

To crush all of those

Who refuse to bend

The damages, the excess

They will make you pay for it

The ashes that will be left

Won't be picked up by them

But by the slaves and the stupid

Who didn't know how to say "no"

We don't wanna be winners

But we will never accept being losers

Pimprenelle and Nicolas*

We won't fall asleep like this

The sand dealer is gone

We keep one eye open

Oh the fear, oh the void

Oh the victory of the eager

Stay still

All kinds of dogs are watching us

Not a gesture, not a hint

Otherwise we screw the screw

We have nothing to win

But we can no longer lose since it's already done

You, who come from far away

With your skin and your bones

You've heard about paradise

It's a lie, it's all false

Oh my friend, oh my brother, all this energy

Lost for the war

You're gonna see all the love

That's left on bottom of the speech

Say, you want some papers?

Say, have you seen my palace?

You'll have nothing, that's it

Paradise is not for losers

There's cannon fodder

There's speculation fodder

There's advertisement fodder

Well, there's everything you like

You and I, we know it

Show is over

However, it's almost perfect

It was far from being feudal

Oh, now it's screwed

It looks nice in your...

Deep inside it's annoying

To join the cohort of the losers

Let's not get our hopes up

But it's better to stand up for action

And our souls, it's the same

God is not in the battle

Oh mister deciders

Everywhere, from every side

Know that deep in our hearts

We don't stop progress

Under the iris, under the skin

Under the nails and in the vice

We will always be able to refuse

To become the first ones or the last ones

No triumphant leaders

We will never be winners or losers
