Le blues du businessman [English translation]

I'm successful in business

I'm successful in love

I often change my secretary

My office is at the top of a tower

From there I see the city upside down

From there I control my universe

I spend half my life in the air

Between New York and Singapour

I always travel in first class

I have my secondary residence

In all the Hiltons of the Earth

I can't stand poverty

Are you happy at least?

I'm not happy but I look it

I lost my sens of humor

Since I have business sens

I made it and I'm proud of it

In fact, I only have a single regret

I'm not doing what I wanted to do

What do you want old friend

In life we do what we can

Not what we want...

I wanted to be an artist

To be able to do my act

When the plane lands on the runway

In Rotterdam or in Rio

I wanted to be a singer

To be able to scream who I am

I wanted to be a writer

To be able to fabricate my life (bis)

I wanted to be an actor

To change skin everyday

And to be able to think I'm handsome

On a big colored screen (bis)

I wanted to be an artist

To have the world to remake

To be able to be an anarchist

And live like a millionnaire (bis)

I wanted to be an artist

To be able to say why I exist
