Stromae Stromae

Bastard

Are you right-wing or left-wing?
Are you a redneck or a Parisian hipster?
Either you're one or the other
You're a man or you perish
Cultivator or pathetic
Feminist or shut up
Either you're macho, or gay
But you're phobic or sexual
Unbeliever or terrorist
Are you hairy or bearded?
Conspiracy theorist, illuminati
Compulsive liar or sold out?
Nothing at all, or everything right away
From one extreme to the other, indecisive
Oh, you change your mind, idiot?
Are you Hutu or Tutsi?
Flemish or Walloon?
Arms hanging or long arms?
In the end, you're racist
But are you white or brown, huh?

Neither one, nor the other
Bastard, you are, you were, and you remain

Neither one nor the other, I am, I was, and will remain myself

Oh, sorry, sir doesn't take sides
Sir isn't even racist, since sir has no roots
Besides, sir has a black friend, and even an Aryan friend
Sir is better than all that, in fact, all that, well, it's useless
It's better to do nothing than to do harm
Hands in the shit or in the annals
Asshole or navel of the world
Sir thinks he's better than everyone
No outbursts, you have to be calm, right?
You have to be gentle, you have to be cuddly
You have to be in the know, you have to be trendy
To be well-liked everywhere, right?
