The wind blows in Arizona
A state of America in which Harry zones
Cowboy crazy for the bang bang of the gun
Of the weapon, the horse and what to party
Pursued by Smith & Wesson
Colt, Derringer, Winchester & Remington
He wanders the plains, proud, solitary
His horse is his partner
Sometimes, he meets Indians
But the gold rush is his only goal
His life follows a course that we know by heart
Otto Preminger's River of No Return
While John Wayne is dressed like Lucky Luke
Clean as a duke, Uncle Sam dupes me
Hollywood burns us (Hollywood burn)
In everyday life as in the new westerns

They say beware of the gorilla, but beware of Gary Cooper
The modern western is established in the sector
When the city sleeps, the trains do not whistle
The Seven Mercenaries do not have an ounce of a fight
Harry is now close to the East Station
He jumps through times and places for a new far-west
The saloons are bistros, they sell cigarettes
Not chewing tobacco, top, CinemaScope
He enters the bar, orders an Indian
Scalps the foam, drinks, puts the glass back on the zinc
A 2 CV parks, drunk, guys are fighting
For trivial reasons like in the new westerns

The States are a kind of multinational
It exports the western and its feudal model
Dictates good, evil, Lucky Luke and the Daltons
Are camouflaged in Paul Smith and Weston
They say that what matters is the decor
The habit does not make the monk in the gold rush
From then on, the techniques are perfected
The chip card replaces the Remington
But Harry in Paris was not lucky
They stop him on the ring road with his stagecoach
Then they place him in Fresnes so that Fresnes slows him down
Victim of the directives of what is called the new western
The new western

Sometimes life is like a stray bullet
In the modern system the individual drowns
To stay lucid he drank Brandy
Now we brandish TV, shit and baby
Or white is the fantastic ride
Always against the light, it's much less heroic
In the dream world we end with a happy end
Is it also the case in what we call
The new western?
The new western
The new western
The new western
The new western

Modern, the new western
Modern, the new western
Sitting Bull, Cochise, Calamity Jane, James West
The Squaws, the Scalps, Tomahawk
The new western
The new western, modern
Lucky Luke
Miguelito Loveless
