Je suis un homme [English translation]

I am a caveman

I am an ape or a fish

On the earth, all year round,

I run in circles, I run in circles

I am only one, then millions

I am a man with a lion heart

At war, all year round,

I run in circles, I run in circles

I am a man full of ambitions

Nice car and nice house

In the bedroom, in the living room

I run in circles, I run in circles

I make love and revolution

I analyze the facts of the matter

I go forth, go forth backwards

I run in circles, I run in circles

You see, I'm not a man

I am the king of illusion

At heart, may I be forgiven,

I am the king, the king of fools

I've made the world my way

Cast in gold and concrete

Caged body and prisoned heart

I run in circles, I run in circles

Sitting in front of my television

I am the negation of man

Pure convenience goods

I've had it, I've had it

You see, I'm not a man

I am the king of illusion

At heart, may I be forgiven,

I am the king, the king of fools

I control fire, I control the game

I control the world, and behold what I've done with it

A frozen land, a scorched land

The land of men that men forsake!

I am a man with his back to the wall

Like a freak of nature

On the earth, with no other reason

I run in circles, I run in circles

I am a man and I consider

All the horror of my nature

For my trouble, my punishment

I run in circles, I run in circles
