Why in you world, are you never hungry ?
Why will not you ever worry about the price of bread ?
Why is it always you who have all the cards in your hand ?
Is it a pledge of intelligence to have the means ?

This is the only way to finally be able to speak "

To avoid their mines on our floors
Why are you asking me this?
I don't know (I don't know)
Why are you asking me this?
I don't know (I don't know)
But you in France are afraid of misery
When you cross it, you run away looking down
Of course, not everyone can give their money

Why are you asking me this?
I don't know (I don't know)
Why are you asking me this?
I don't know (I don't know)
Why are you asking me this?
I don't know (I don't know)
Why are you asking me this?
I don't know (I don't know)
