We were millions
Between Republic and Nation
Protestants and Catholics
Muslims, Jews and seculars
Under the benevolent gaze
Of a few thousand cops
In solidarity with those of Charlie
And then I saw marching
Some notorious bandits
Presidents, under ministers
And little kings without glory
And I saw, and I saw
Along the sidewalk a cop
Who looked friendly

So I approached him
And I kissed a cop

I kissed a cop
Between Nation and Republic
I kissed a cop
It's a change from the beatings
I wouldn't have believed it thirty years ago
That instead of throwing
Stones at them with all my might
I would hold one against me

Because I approached him
Yes, I approached him
And I kissed a cop

We were walking towards the Nation
Brotherly and peaceful
Under the benevolent gaze
Of a few thousand cops
And the snipers on the roofs
Were making with their arms
Big signs of friendship
And solidarity
So to thank them
And for the first time
In my anarchist life
I went and kissed a cop

Yes, I approached him
And I kissed a cop
Yes, I approached him
And I kissed a cop
Yes, I approached him
And I kissed a cop
Yes, I approached him
And I kissed a cop
And I kissed a cop
