V pour Vérité [English translation]

[Pierre-Georges Smila]:

"Lady, Gentleman, good evening, here are the headlines for this Monday:

Some questions raised following yesterday afternoon's explosion of violence across the country, what really happened, who are those thousands of demonstrators claiming to be followers of a movement for the living, who slow down and sometimes even stop all activities in the majority of towns, disrupted traffic, massive demonstrations. Gérard Dupain1, expert in insurrectionary matters and new social movements, will appear in this bulletin and bring us a..."

[Kenny Arkana]:

Ladies and gentlemen, forgive us for the trouble

A brief interruption of your news bulletin, 'cause our voice is off topic

A need to express our point of view to the people of this country,

Express why we claimed it was urgent for people to disobey

We're not your enemies, even though we're enemies of the system

Insurgents of this reign organized by a bunch of vipers

We are those who stood up to say 'no'

Sons of freedom, we must get to work

Because their world reeks of death, because the living world is Wanted,

It doesn't reflect the grandeur which humanity carries within itself

Lost in its quest, handfuls of regrets,

Tell the torturers that we won't let them kill our star

The blood of selfishness filled every written page,

The same2 which will manage to turn our collective fate into a tragedy!

[Pierre-Georges Smila]:

Please forgive us for this technical incident, it would seem we are currently experiencing some problems...

[Kenny Arkana]:

Forgive us for the technical problems

I must say, they don't want us chatting with you

Our battle is legitimate in the face of Holocaust-like politics

Which won't change a thing

They created the rules as they are,

Such-and-such war profiting from Mother Earth's blood

Up against the wall, almost hemmed in

Ladies and gentlemen, don't think that the governments are protecting you at all

They prepare themselves an unparalleled breeding-ground for the greatest genocide of them all

Hunger in developed countries, repression, but also

Epidemics, maybe so we're afraid to come together,

Or only to come up with a heap of poisonous vaccines

With a chip inside, maybe, would it be for surveillance purposes?

Or to alter our psychic states with their waves?

The West sets up camps, Europe is about to re-establish the death penalty,

Specifically for the insurgents

[Police chief Roucas]:

Oh! What's going on in the control room?

[Technician]:

That's it, we're rolling!

[Police chief Roucas]:

Ladies and gentlemen, we are in all likelihood victims of a malicious hacking. The competent services already doing all they can to stop this...

[Kenny Arkana]:

Hey, I'm not done yet! In the name of those who don't want to suffer anymore, their hearts afire, from an ideal which can't justify your ordeals

The hope of a new breath, the quest isn't over yet

Humanity, every single instant is favorable, contains eternity

Soldiers of peace, and so we question ourselves

From a slaughtering machine, blessed be those who interpose themselves,

Those who build something else

Ladies and gentlemen, please open your eyes, 'cause the world will be your own fate!

The hearts are irradiated, sealed off safes

All jewels of change end up under the surgeants' truncheons!

Cops armed with colonial racism,

Their honorable principles crushed, 'cause all they think about is money

Feeling completely down after losing so many of our towns

Fed on American movies and Tchernobyl food

Fuck, we said 'no' to the winners' cheating

Refashion tomorrow, become the people

Society, become the people once again

[Pierre-Georges Smila]:

Dear viewers, what you just heard is terrorist

Propaganda recorded by irresponsible people

The police informs us that they're part of a little group

Their services are already familiar with and that it...

[Keny Arkana]:

Ladies and gentlemen, don't listen to them

No debates when faced with the damage done

The lies spill from the media's mouth

They want to silence us, hand out medals to the torturers

The most functional pillar of State terrorism,

A big bang here to proclaim to all of you

See that we've got nice things to build

And that no one will come to save us

All devastated outside, only faith remains gold

Do you agree that this world doesn't reflect the dream of mankind?

Inner revolution, as soon as we understand that

We must carry the change inside of us for it to blossom

Urban will be the exodus, may the word honor us

'Cause it's the Children of the Earth versus the armies of the Golden Calf

Ladies and gentlemen, we are this youth people push into the ghetto

Remember our words when they tell you we are terrorists

On the air, this was Arka from the Wanted gang,

Like the echo of a faraway promise

[Technician]:

Tell them it's only bullshit!

[Pierre-Georges Smila]:

Ladies and gentlemen, we reiterate our apologies following this revolting deed

We just definitely regained controlled of the air,

We insist on the fact that since this little group is

Extremely dangerous, all that you just heard

Was of course nothing but plain lies
