I studied until I was twenty
I dodged my regiment
Lied to my parents like everyone else
I came home too late at the wrong time

I did odd jobs while waiting
A well-paid part-time job
To be able to happily enjoy
The smiles that people gave me

I took my time, I really planned
I watched my acne pass
Without watching too much TV
I wanted to learn to share

I found friends man, found friends
I gave them a bit of my soul man, a bit of my life yes!
If you knew all that I took from them
I found friends man
Found friends

I shared my hormone chickens
Opened my door to the whole area
I discovered the life of alms
From Brittany to Puy-de-Dôme

I rubbed shoulders with a few races
The same ones that Le Pen finds disgusting
With whom I shared my anxieties
And sometimes dirtied my shoes

I made love in the straw
I shouted for class struggle
I took hits, suffered threats
But nothing tarnishes a tenacious love

I found friends man, found friends
I gave them a bit of my soul man, a bit of my life yes!
If you knew all that I took from them
I found friends man
Found friends

My strength is my pride
It's my ten fingers, it's my big mouth
But I know that the silence of some
Can slow down my instincts

Because we are all different
Of various looks, changing moods
Let's just admit it
And share our feelings

And there I see the world in front of me
The supermarket of paperwork
Who dreams of conquering space
But doesn't really know what's going on

If you are alone and well-thinking
That you are full of tranquilizers
That you obviously don't sleep
Find some buddies and don't waste time

You have to find friends man, find friends
Give them a bit of your soul man, a bit of your life yes!
If you knew all that I took from them
You have to find friends man, find friends
