Tout Le Monde

I'd like for the white to know the black
And for you to know hope
I'd like for war to know defeat
And for Johnny to know my head
I'd like for the beautiful to date the ugly
And for the rich to fill my pockets
For the president to really think of me
Doing what he says would be enough
I'd like for you to know how I think
That a little common sense would be enough
For us to burst our bubble
Without being afraid of looking ridiculous

I'd like for everybody to know everybody
We ignore each other with elegance, let's not get into this trend
I'd like for everybody to know everybody
With a little effort, we could almost agree

I'd like for the crowd to scream its silence at me
And for its screams to resonate
I'd like for aging to rhyme with caress
And for sweetness to rhyme with my ass
I'd like for my mouth to know your skin
And for it to be as soft as Di Angelo's
I'd like to wake up these sleeping people
Who come out of their night faster than today
For them to lift their noses from behind their screen
Instead of numbing themselves and wasting their time
I don't want to wait for everything to explode
To tell you what's on my mind

I'd like for everybody to know everybody
We ignore each other with elegance, let's not get into this trend
I'd like for everybody to know everybody
With a little effort, we could almost agree

Between us, I think I'm dreaming awake
That world only exists in my head
Yes, but stubborn me, I don't care
I persist, I repeat, I repeat

I'd like for everybody to know everybody
We ignore each other with elegance, let's not get into this trend
I'd like for everybody to know everybody
With a little effort, we could almost agree
I'd like for everybody to know everybody
We ignore each other with elegance, let's not get into this trend
I'd like for everybody to know everybody
With a little effort, we could almost agree
