When everyone is asleep quietly
In the sleepy suburbs
That's when the zonards*
Descend on the town
Who violates the girls
In the car park at night
Who sets fire to buildings
It's always the zonards
So there is panic on the streets
When we arrive in town
When we arrive in town
Everyone crosses to the other side of the pavement
We don't seem like grown men
But we're scary to see
Boys who wear makeup
That makes passers-by laugh
But when they see blood
On the blade of our razors
It's like a light in fog
When we arrive in town
Us, all that we want
Is to be happy
To be happy before being old
We don't have the time to wait until we're 30
Us, all that we want
Is to be happy
To be happy before being old
We take everything that we can while we're waiting
When we arrive in town
We come from nowhere
We live without a home
We sleep in warehouses
During the day we are calm
We are incognito
In the evening we change our skin
And we fight with fate
So prepare yourselves for a brawl
When we arrive in town
When the underground town
Is plunged into darkness
People who are out
Leave on stretchers
We act without reason
Does that seem bizarre to you?
Maybe it's because we're crazy
Maybe it's because of despair
At least, thats what the evening papers say
When we arrive in town
Us, all that we want
Is to be happy
To be happy before being old
We don't have the time to wait until we're 30
Us, all that we want
Is to be happy
To be happy before being old
We take everything that we can while we're waiting
When the year 2000 comes
We'll be 40
If we don't live now
Tomorrow, it'll be too late
What will we do this evening?
Perhaps we'll break everything
If you go out dancing
Don't come back too late
In fear that we've keyed your Jaguars
Prepare yourselves for a brawl
There is panic on the streets
When we arrive in town
