Tekst piosenki
Paroles de Tim RICE - Musique de Michel BERGER
You'd think we'd got no cause
To kick against the pricks
To mess with politics
To tear this sucker down
No need to settle scores
When we are not deprived
This bloody perfect town
But no
We're cocky on the boulevards
A little damage done
A little damage done
Alittle harm to do
Before the night is through
Before the battle's won
And when we hit the street
Made up with shining hate
The narrow and the straight
Are skipping to our beat
Oh yes
We're striking on the boulevards
A little damage done
Hey !
Since we're the stuff of life
We've had enough of life
Nagging us, dragging us, flagging us down
Hey !
We don't want to wait for life
Degenerate in life
Screwing us, chewing us, spewing us out
A little damage done
A gesture from the guys
The ones who realise
The ending has begun
A knife that goes astray
A minor scuffle here
A small explosion there
A tiny price to pay
For life !
We're shaking up the Boulevards
A little damage done
We are the ones who care
The ones who mean to win
The ones who don't give in
To comfort or despair
And please remember this
In case of accident
That we did not invent
This dead metropolis
Nor us !
We did not build the boulevards
The damage had been done !
Hey !
Since we're the stuff of life
We've had enough of life
Nagging us, dragging us, flagging us down
Hey !
We don't want to wait for life
Degenerate in life
Screwing us, chewing us, spewing us out
So get the stretchers out
The boys are moving in
And anxious to begin
The evening's roustabout
It's gonna be a night
To stay behind locked doors
Or else embrace the cause
We know you know we're right !
And so
Be careful on the boulevards
Your precious metal boulevards
We're tearing up the boulevards
A little damage done !
