Tous ces beaux jeux inventés
Pour passer devant les premiers
Pour que chacun soit écrasé
S'il refuse encore de plier

Les dégâts, les excès
Ils vont vous les faire payer
Les cendres qui resteront
C'est pas eux qui les ramasseront

Mais les esclaves et les cons
Qui n'auront pas pas su dire non
Nous on n'veut pas être des gagnants
Mais on acceptera jamais d'être des perdants

Pimprenelle et Nicolas
Vous nous endormez comme ça
Le marchand de sable est passé
Nous, on garde un oeil éveillé

Ô la peur, ô le vide
Ô la victoire des avides
Faut pas bouger une oreille
Toutes sortes de chiens nous surveillent

Pas un geste, une esquisse
Sinon on tourne la vis
Nous on n'a rien à gagner
Mais on ne peut plus perdre puisque c'est déjà fait.

Toi qui viens de loin d'ici
Avec ta peau et tes os
On t'a parlé du paradis
On t'a menti, tout est faux

Ô mon ami, ô mon frère, tout ce nerf
Perdu pour la guerre
Tu vas voir tout l'amour
Qui traîne au fond du discours

Dis t'en veux des papiers ?
Dis tu l'as vu mon palais ?
T'auras rien, c'est ainsi
C'est pas fait pour les perdants, le paradis

Il y a la chair à canon
Il y a la chair à spéculation
Il y a la chair à publicité
Enfin y a tout ce que vous aimez

Vous et moi on le sait
Le spectacle est terminé
Pourtant c'était presque idéal
C'était loin du féodal

Oh maint'nant c'est foutu
Ça fait joli dans ton...
Fort intérieur c'est gênant
De rejoindre comme ça la cohorte des perdants

Il faut pas se faire d'illusions
Mais c'est mieux debout pour l'action
Et pour nos âmes, c'est égal
Dieu n'est pas dans la bataille

Ô messieurs les décideurs
De toutes parts, de tous côtés
Sachez que profond dans nos coeurs
On n'arrête pas le progrès

Sous l'Iris, sous la peau
Sous les ongles et dans l'étau
On pourra toujours refuser
De devenir les premiers ou les derniers

Pas de leaders triomphants
On s'ra jamais des gagnants ni des perdants

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
