La Vie Ne M'apprend Rien
Daniel Balavoine
Life Doesn't Teach Me Anything
Who dares to say they can teach me about feelings
Or show me what it takes to be great
Who can change what I carry in my blood
Who has the right to forbid me from being alive
On which side are the good or the bad
Their gospels have made me a non-believer
Life doesn't teach me anything
I just wanted to talk a little, choose a train
Life doesn't teach me anything
I would love to hold on so much, take a path
CHORUS
But I can't, I don't know
And I remain stuck there
Laws no longer make men, but a few men make the law
And I can't, I don't know
And I remain stuck there...
To those who believe that my money clouds my judgment
I say that it's not enough to be poor to be honest
Maybe they think that freedom can be bought
What remains of ideals under gunfire
When their preachers are safe from the battle
The lives of the dead are no longer saved by medals
Life doesn't teach me anything
I just wanted to talk a little, choose a train
Life doesn't teach me anything
I would love to hold on so much, take a path, take a path
CHORUS
