[OrelSan - L'odeur de l'essence/ English Translation]

[Verse 1]
(Wa-wa-watch) Nostalgia luring them with an Old France's greatness they've been fantasying over
(Watch) Incomprehension striking those who see theirs faith runned down when they were minding their own business
(Watch) Fear persuading them that foreigners will come in their living room to replace them
(Watch) Despair leading them to risky choices to survive where we crammed them all together
(Listen) Paranoia making them bеlieve you can't go out on the street without bеing in danger
(Listen) Panic leading them to yell because Earth is dying and no one gives a fuck
(Listen) Suspicion exciting them, making them say we cannot choose what to eat, cannot choose what to think
(Listen) Hate making them fall for the extremes, litting the fire, igniting everything

[Bridge]
The smell of gas, the smell of gas
The smell of gas

[Verse 2]
All bets are off, every one of our leaders failed, they'll be destroyed by the monster they've created
Both trust and respect died out at once
What govern us? Fear and anxiety
We're self-destructing, we're looking for an ennemy, some say "it's over", others are in denial
Billionaires bequeath to their moronic children, History belongs to those who wrote it
No one listens anymore, everyone expresses himself, no one changes his mind, only sterile debates
Everyone gets overexcited because everyone is overexcited
Only strong views, nothing is ever specific
No time to think, tyranny of numbers
12 years old kid, whose tweets get cited by the medias
Intelligence sells less than controversy
Battle royale, it's every man for his little clique (Watch)
Fascist asshole, hysteric bitch (Watch)
Everyone's reactionary, everything is systemic (Watch)
As soon as one asshole does something wrong somewhere
The entire world becomes sensitive (Watch)
Cuplrits are former victims
The evil circle is never-ending
Everything degenerates, everything is cyclical
No solutions, only critics
Everyone is sensitive (Sensitive), everything is sensitive (Sensitive)
Everyone is on the defensive (Sensitive)
Sensitive subject, sensitive person (Sensitive)
Sensitive (Sensitive), sensitive (Sensitive)
Sensitive (Sensitive), everything's sensitive (Sensitive)
Everyone is on the defensive (Sensitive)
Sensitive subject, sensitive person (Sensitive, sensitive, sensitive)
Everyone screws everyone, want to do the conga
One conversation out of two is someone complaining
While the rest of the world suffers so we live well
Parents buy alcohol, it's children who pay the price
Car crash, domestic violence
Alcohol is always at the root of the evil
Nothing fill more hospitals and courthouses
We don't feel proud of being alcoholic, it's lame to bitch about it
We take morons, give them weapons
Call that "Justice", get surprised by the blunders
Caught in an infernal spiral
We fight fire with fire and medias are delighted
Only news story, chicken-fox-snake
Either you're for or you're against, everything is binary
Clout chasers flirt with extremists
Since morons became experts
Surrounded by morons, Mongol Empire
We're acting like morons to appeal to morons
We're gonna fall like the Mongols
Like the Egyptians, like the Romans, like the Mayas, like the Greeks
We gotta reboot, we gotta reset
We believe in nothing, everything is deepfake
Facing the unknown in the rejection
Cocktail of fear, hate and sadness
Our contradictions, our dilemmas
Corrupted, I was born in the system
No one moves forward on the same track, eveything is inert
We only see one form of wealth
To take money from people is stealing, except when it's business
Generation Z, because the last one
It's obvious that we did not experienced war
Every old person vote, they will choose our future
Granny votes for Marine, she has three years left to live
Fascists YouTubers, pseudo-subversive
Here's what you get when you censor artists
Nothing never progresses, numerous get radicalised
Are lacking directions and get lost into the nostalgia
Of an era where others where already nostalgic
Of an era where others where already nostalgic
Of an era where others where already nostalgic
Of an era where-, huh fuck, the
Sheeps just want a charismatic leader
No empathy, everything is hierarchical
School only teaches you individualism
We teach you how to make money, not buddies
If the President wins half the votes
This means two third of France didn't wanted him
No need to know what the Senate is
To know that wealthy old men make laws, huh
No one likes the rich, until they become one
Then, they stash their money or shit themselves about losing it
So many shitty jobs, act like you're doing it
How many jobs are only there to satisfy our chiefs?
Fed on judgments, fed on clichés
When we don't even know how to feed ourselves, we wreck ourselves
We cannot handle our emotions so we cover them up
Can't manage our relations so we mess them up
Don't embrace who we are so we are coward
There's no forgiveness in a world where nothing gets erased
We spit on eachother, we don't know how to live together
We fight to be at the front of a plane heading for a, crash
