To the bastards of the very first hour
Who make laws to suit themselves
Who flatter the voter
So they can get their ass into a palace
As these guys aren't bothered anymore
To punch their own cards
Believe me that if they moved their ass
It must be for something that we should fear
It makes me puke rather than laugh
You big old crooked cops of the nation
Now we have both of our feet in shit
It's gonna be tough to get out of it
REFRAIN
[ You rotten good for nothing crook
That dream to be respectable
Become the Rolls-Royce of citizens
Become a politician ]
Watching but never watched
An elected official doesn't fear anything nor anyone
It is always clean and spotless
Parliamentary immunity is like a maid
They get a regular whitewashing
They all have a facelift ready to use
They go to the shower or to the session
It all depends on which is more important
There is no miracle to wait for
From the thieves that run the country
You see they know the song by heart
If they are up there it's because they like singing it
REFRAIN
Don't be surprised if there's wars
All over the planet
Because it's not only here that they show off
Nor that justice sells itself out
For once that we have champions
That are winning competitions
It shall work as much as that
At Matignon1
When a brawl or a stolen car
Gets you carted off to Fleury Mérogis2
A handful of billions for a clown
Is an amnesty law
REFRAIN
A deputy is already expensive
So I can't imagine what it is for a president
It needs containers of dollars
And a buddy who's Secretary of State
Imagine me presenting
The number of stolen head units
Of bottles to dump
And marijuana joints to sell out
It's not tomorrow that there would be a woman
At the top of the political ladder
It is a too big job to sign thousands
Of false passports and false invoices
REFRAIN
To all these guys I like as much as
Teachers , procurers and skinheads
I want to say that even a toothache
Scares me less than their sincerity
It's not really that I'm too delicate
It's just that this hate I have in my heart
Makes me prefer pain to the fear
Of these new scammers
They're fighting down there , that's for sure
There's fights on the frontline
One can't become a scum-bag
Nor a bastard without training
