Rêve mieux [English translation]

You've never had any taste, it's not COVID

Fuck your mom, fuck your luxury and your product placement

You're not cool, you're only an algorithm leech

You'll never be happy because you're damned

Asshole lifestyle, seller of false glory

Trader in a suit, their dream is my nightmare

Generation burn-out, under pressure

Running after perfect pipe dreams

Wrecked like Amy, wrecked like Britney

Don't confuse achievement, glory, happiness, and success

You know everything the rich want? Everything they can't have (have, have)

Before being rich, you can't believe it

I know lots of stars, they're shitty

If you crossed them, it would ruin your dreams

If you cross them, they'll humiliate you and snuff you out to shine brighter

I try not to act like I'm anti social media

I just want to say "never forget it's fake"

People are paid to fuck your brain

That life seems bland when you see the best others have

They have nothing else to do than be good-looking

Don't compare yourself, refuse the dictatorship of hicks1

They explode when they take themselves for something, drowned in their own ego

Dream better

Better than money, better than power, better then both

Dream of being happy

Dream better

Better than money, better than power, better then both

Dream of being happy2

We put stars in their eyes

(We give them stars, we give them stars)

Blinded by the stars in their eyes

(They give us stars, they give us stars)

Since when is everything so serious?

You're lucky to be so right-minded, I'm full of hate

In truth I'm waiting for you to cancel me

Your tolerance is just another way to put on a show

Witch hunters, looking for a dirty buzz

Liars, false prophets, sellers of good morals

So happy to be able to judge

Throwing embers at the stake

Acting in the name of good doesn't stop you from doing evil

Pretending to be human is the Devil's technique

It's in the name of good that tyrants take power (power)

Nothing justifies being a bastard

You've had convictions for two weeks

It's just an excuse to let go of your hate

You try to be relevant because you're stupid

It's just a way to impose your rules

It's nice to want to be the hero

But you're only good at telling on others

Knowledge is power, I know that

You can kill if you're good at nothing

Dream better

Better than money, better than power, better then both

Dream of being happy

Dream better

Better than money, better than power, better then both

Dream of being happy

1. "beauf"("hick" here) is hard to translate. it means someone who is poorly educated or from the countryside2. Something that is lost to translation: "happy" is in the masculine form (heureux). In the previous line, happy was in the feminine form (heureuse). The first time, he is talking to the women listening. The second time, he is talking to the men.
