Le blues du businessman

I'm successful in my business
I'm successful in my love
I often change my secretary
I have my office at the top of a tower
From where I see the city upside down
From where I control my universe

I spend half of my life in the air
Between New York and Singapore
I always travel first class
I have a second home
In all the Hiltons on Earth
I can't stand poverty

Are you at least happy?

I'm not happy but I look like it
I've lost my sense of humor
Since I have a sense of business
I've succeeded and I'm proud of it
Deep down I have only one regret
I don't do what I would have liked to do

What do you want, my old friend?
In life, we do what we can
Not what we want

I would have liked to be an artist
To be able to do my act
When the plane lands on the runway
In Rotterdam or Rio
I would have liked to be a singer
To be able to shout who I am
I would have liked to be a writer
To be able to invent my life
To be able to invent my life

I would have liked to be an actor
To change my skin every day
And to be able to find myself handsome
On a big colorful screen
On a big colorful screen
I would have liked to be an artist
To have the world to redo
To be able to be an anarchist
And live like ... a millionaire
And live like ... a millionaire

I would have liked to be an artist
To be able to say why I exist
I would have liked to be an artist
To be able to say why I exist
