[Verse 1 : Bigflo]
I don't know why, this morning, I'm very angry
But I'm not letting it show in front of my daughter and her mum
Kiss, "Good morning", boredom, coffee maker
The pretty dishes that grandma gave us
I'd like to throw them all in the air, yeah, I think about it sometimes
The days look alike like my daughter and me
"Come on honey, hurry up, we'll be late"
Say "Good morning" to the neighbours: "goodbye motherfucker"
Always in a traffic jam
Stimulation, aggression, come on, move, asshole
"-What's happening to you, dad, tell me why you're annoyed"
I don't hear her, today, I'm stuck in a dream
"Come on my angel, be good and have a nice day"
My own hypocrisy is really beginning to get to me
Youhou! Now to work, how fun
A rabbit in a hutch, eight hours behind a keyboard
It's been two weeks since I tried to talk to my boss
At night, I often imagine him chopped up in accidents
"-Sir, about my pay rise...
-We'll talk later"
To think it's been fifteen years that I've put this fucking suit on
After, I'll go get my daughter, like always
All I see is boredom, where has my life gone? Where has the love gone?
Tonight, the same supermarket grub
Green beans, hamburger, we'll pretend not to fall out
But, I've found texts on her phone again
It's not the end of the world, she's been cheating on me for two years
Me, as usual, I say nothing, no, as usual, I'm voiceless
This world is too corrupt for my daughter, I'm ashamed
The routine, the first day like the last
Wait, but isn't there a rifle in the attic?
Work, anxiety, the town, boredom
The passing time, routine, boredom
Love, death, dreams, desire
Photo, smile, the town again
The stress, the darkness, the tears, the cries
Car horns, ringtones
I think that tonight, I'm gonna do something stupid
[Chorus : Bigflo & Oli]
Alone in the shadows, I'm an ordinary guy
I keep moving, I fall down, I'm an ordinary guy
I've thrown in the towel, like an ordinary guy
I dive into my darkest dreams
Alone in the shadows, I'm an ordinary guy
I keep moving, I fall down, I'm an ordinary guy
I've thrown in the towel, like an ordinary guy
[Bridge 1 : A police inspetctor & Oli]
"-Good evening
-Good evening
- We have some questions to ask you about the incident last night
-Yes
-Did you know your neighbour?
-Yes, yes...
-What can you tell us about him?
-About him?
[Verse 2 : Oli]
I'm still in shock given that he was a model father
Lovely neighbour, considerate, a normal guy, no, nothing shady
Wouldn't even hurt a fly, I heard him singing in the shower
He helped me with my groceries
A regular guy, discreet, no history
There's my house on the TV, all this: it's hard to believe it
On the radio, it's crazy, they're talking about guns, curtains covered in blood
To think that we spent last New Year together
We talked about DIY over a drink, toasting to our health
An ordinary guy, and no one expected it
[Bridge 2 : A police inspector]
And regarding the incident? Can you tell us what you heard? What you saw?
[Verse 2 continued : Oli]
He killed his daughter and wife, well, his wife first
Talking about rifles and dark thoughts at the back of his attic
I still hear the sound of screaming: it gets worse every second
Three graves for an ordinary guy
Killer neighbour pulls the trigger four times
The blinds closed, yes, the tragedy is happening secretly
I heard a "bam", we'd just left the table
10:32pm, a bullet, the one that killed his wife
They weren't that angry, I thought it was a normal argument
A shot, one after the other, calm, the final bullet
A phone call: the police show up, the TV stations file in
I was asked for information on the nutcase, a bit like in the movies
His daughter's body was recovered close to his
To think that I saw this guy cry over the death of his dog
My wife hasn't spoken since she heard the news
She bumped into him last night, taking out the rubbish
Always smiling, a nice guy who lived nearby
I'm sure the other neighbours are saying the same thing as me
He looks like me: car, wife, mother-in-law, dinner parties
The sofa, mundane movies, bread for the canal ducks
The dog, the fucking garden gnome, sun terrace
What's to stop me from doing the same?
[Chorus : Bigflo & Oli]
Alone in the shadows, I'm an ordinary guy
I keep moving, I fall down, I'm an ordinary guy
I've thrown in the towel, like an ordinary guy
I dive into my darkest dreams
Alone in the shadows, I'm an ordinary guy
I keep moving, I fall down, I'm an ordinary guy
I've thrown in the towel, like an ordinary guy
I dive into my darkest dreams
[Outro : Bigflo]
I don't know why, this morning, I'm very angry
But I'm not letting it show in front of my daughter and her mum
Kiss, "Good morning", boredom, coffee maker
The pretty dishes that grandma gave us
I'd like to throw 'em all in the air
