Paroles de Candide

Stop the wrecking ball Are you getting off? This course in melodrama Wake me when it's over Thin skin we're whipped again They're merciless Flag wavers prey and prosper Escape with me father Come on, come on You and I have been around Beaten up, run out of town Don't say "God's planned the world we live in, Take what you can get," it's written Earth shakes and waters rise A plague hits, my lover dies And you say "Best of all possible worlds Get by while it all unfurls" Syphilis, aren't you sick of this Give me a hand To the taking back of our fate Believe in another There's a little patch of land there Just up ahead Slow and steady we can prosper Trot on with me father Come on, come on You and I have been around Beaten up, run out of town Don't say "God's planned the world we live in, Take what you can get," it's written Earth shakes and waters rise A plague hits, my lover dies And you say "Best of all possible worlds Get by while it all unfurls" This land needs tiling Come on and help out The pirate swine We'll bluff and cop out Your... worlds just burn out You and I have been around Beaten up, run out of town Don't say "God's planned the world we live in, Take what you can get," it's written Tragic comic repartee This schlep has had it's day I say Get by or you're a goner Hands on and we'll get stronger Get by or you're a goner Hands on and we'll get stronger Oh... The water has spat us out Coast is clear again Hush up now And don't get bored Work away We're on the mend
