Désenchantement du monde
Je suis nul au blind test. Pourtant, parfois, un air… je connais cette chanson. Souvenir d’enfance. Et quand j’arrive à imprimer l’auteur, le titre… Tiens j’aime. C’est bien internet mais cela ne contribue pas à me réconcilier avec le monde d’aujourd’hui… Tiens ? Mon année de naissance….
Supertramp – The Logical Song (1979)
a miracle, oh it was beautiful, magical.
And all the birds in the trees, well they’d be singing so happily,
joyfully, playfully watching me.
But then they send me away to teach me how to be sensible,
logical, responsible, practical.
And they showed me a world where I could be so dependable,
clinical, intellectual, cynical.
There are times when all the world’s asleep,
the questions run too deep
for such a simple man.
Won’t you please, please tell me what we’ve learned
I know it sounds absurd
but please tell me who I am.
Now watch what you say or they’ll be calling you a radical,
liberal, fanatical, criminal.
Won’t you sign up your name, we’d like to feel you’re
acceptable, respecable, presentable, a vegtable!
At night, when all the world’s asleep,
the questions run so deep
for such a simple man.
Won’t you please, please tell me what we’ve learned
I know it sounds absurd
but please tell me who I am.
