It takes a special physique
To do what you want
Because usually to no one
You are good as you are
You who were looking for understanding, you know, understanding, you know
You find yourself in competition, you know, in competition, you know

It takes a beastly physique
To withstand the shocks of life
To what you read in the newspaper
And sometimes even to bad luck

It takes a beastly physique, you know, special, you know
Even to drink and smoke, you know, smoke, you know

It takes a beastly physique
Because we are always at a crossroads
Left, right or straight
The fact is that it's always a risk

It takes a moment of peace, you know, of peace, you know
To do what we like, you know, I like, you know

And as the proverbs say
And my uncle says it too
Healthy mind in a healthy body
And now I'm convinced too

It takes a lot of training, you know, training, you know
To stand upright against the wind, you know, training, you know

(It feels alright, love me)
(It feels alright, love me)

It takes a beastly physique
To be in the world of adults
And then find yourself at certain dinners
With cunning and arrogant types

It takes a beastly physique, you know, special, you know
Even to drink and smoke, you know, smoke, you know

It takes a beastly physique
The world is a big hospital
And we are all a little sick
But we are also a little doctors

And we are all very ignorant yes, ignorant yes
But we are also a little teachers, you know, teachers, you know

It takes a beastly physique
Because we are boats in the middle of the sea
