And while we're walking around
The child for five francs a week
Comes to embroider tracksuits
For the white man who golfs in a cart
Bad weather on the planet
Oh what a funny, funny time
Helping is forbidden
The world around is deaf, of course

Researcher against nature
Cheater, who swears on his honor
Don't let it worry you
I knew well the dead animal on your plate
Bad weather on the planet
Oh what a funny, funny time
Helping is forbidden
The world around is deaf, of course

Cheater at the podium
Liar amassing fortune
Climber in the storm
With nothing but doses of clear water at the bottom of the bag
Bad weather on the planet
Oh what a funny, funny time
No witness once again
The world around is deaf, of course

Cinderella fallen from a corner of the Sahel
Lost
On a piece of paper she sends me a call
And on it she says "where exactly
Where exactly is the Tower of Babel?"
The Tower of Babel

The gentleman comes out of the church
Happy that men are fraternizing
His son who is sulking and him
Who runs to buy the rifle and the darts
Ah, the bad weather on the planet
Oh what a funny, funny time
No witness, once again
The world around is deaf, of course

And while we're walking around
The child for five francs a week

Researcher against nature
Well hidden behind his storefront
The cheaters at the podium
And us, all applauding them like the moon
Like the moon
No witness, once again
The world around is deaf, of course
The world around is deaf, of course

Thank you and goodnight, everyone!
