Citoyens du Monde
Hk Et Les Saltimbanks
Citizens of the World
I don’t have a war anthem, no homeland, no president
I have no army but those who fight for love despite the laws of money
I have no men to exploit, no wealth to create for myself
I have no territories to defend against those poor souls coming from all over the world
And if we had to starve here all together, you’re welcome
Better to die than to live in abundance, dressed in clothes while so many others are naked
Wo yo
Wo yo yo yo
Citizens of the world, supporters of a world without borders
There’s the good foreigner, the one you welcome with open arms
And there’s the bad one, the one you chase as soon as he crosses your border
There’s the good one, the one who’ll be useful to you
And there’s the crook, the one you definitely don’t want showing up in your town
If you’re looking for the brute, go where they talk cash dollars and crude oil
But don’t go looking for the sheriff, I shot him when he said he only defended the rich
Wo yo
Wo yo yo yo
Citizens of the world, supporters of a world without borders
And if your share isn’t enough, you’ll take more without having to fight
There are so many little ones on this earth, so easy to take down
Look at all these borders, they’re just dark scars
Open wounds from old conquests, remnants of vain sacrifices
So many poor soldiers sent to the front have died...
While victory was celebrated with champagne, by their colonels
There’s only one dream I chase, only one phrase that resonates within me
Beyond the borders, the land must belong to everyone or to no one
Wo yo...wo yo yo yo,
Citizens of the world, supporters of a world... without borders
