C'est quand qu'on va où [English translation]

When Are We Going Where ? (Translation of a play with the wrong structure)

I had to write 500 lines:

"I must not speak in class"

I'm sick of discipline !

Fed up, it's disgusting !

I'm not even the one who was talking,

I was answering Arthur

Who was asking me, in English,

How to write No Future

[Chorus] :

If we get punished for that

Then I say: "Stop everything"

Tell me, Dad

When are we going where?

It's kind of a pain

To go to sorrow everyday

When there's so many people on Earth

Who are gonna go at "do nothing"

With their homework back home

I do my sixty hour week

Not only for not a dime

But even to end up unemployed !

They want to stuff me like a goose

With indigestible things

I will have forgotten all of that

When I will have learned everything else

Lift my schoolbag

It's as heavy as a dead horse,

Ten kilos of necessary

Pythagorean theorems !

[Chorus]

The main things to teach us

Is the love of books which

Lets you travel from within your room

Around humanity,

It's love your neighbor,

Even if he's a bastard

Hate won't give you anything

And it will come soon enough

[Chorus]

When I'm big I want to be happy

To know how to draw a little

To know how to use a drill

To know how to start a fire

To maybe play the cello

To have a nice handwriting

To write write rebellious words

That can knock down every wall !

[Chorus]

You say that if elections

Really changed life

Voting would have been banned

A long time ago, idiot ! (Lines switched for syntax reasons)

Well if school made

Men free and equals,

The government would decide

That it's bad for children !

[Chorus] x2
