A l'origine


A L'origine on était pas des sauvages
A L'origine on habitait pas la cage
Au premier signe on libérait les otages
A L'origine on faisait pas l'étalage
De nos racines on n'avait pas d'héritage
A dix centimes on n'était pas si volages
Dieu
Dieu
Dieu que c'est loin

A L'origine on n'était pas des esclaves
A L'origine on quittait pas son enclave
D'origine la vie n'etait qu'une seule phrase Sybilline on mettait pas les plein gaz
Les mandarines avaient un gout de betterave Citadines on attendait dans la cave
Mieux
Mieux
Mieux que bien

A L'origine on n'avait pas des prothèses
A L'origine on disait moins de fadaises
A L'origine on avait moins de facettes
De temps d'usine
Et pas besoin de prophètes
A L'origine les poules etaient des nuggets
Et pas d'usine
Et les poupées des puppets,
Dieu
Dieu
Dieu que c'est loin

A L'origine on avait pas des pétards

De carabines
Mais les cheveux en pétards
Dans le dressing
On cachait pas des cadavre
A L'origine on n'était pas si macabres
A L'origine il n'y avait pas les images
Les speakerines faisaient encore des massages
Mieux
Mieux
C'est mieux que rien

Je ne sais pas si nous étions les pires
Et si déjà nous rêvions d'en finir
A L'origine tout n'était qu'un mystère
Pas de fadas
D'intifada naguère

A L'origine on passait pas les messages
A sa voisine on faisait pas de chantage
A la cantine il n'y avait pas de potage
De carabine, de messagers de passage,
A Colombine il va y avoir un carnage
En haut des cimes
Il n'y avait que les nuages
Dieu
Dieu
Dieu que c'est loin...

A L'origine on n'était pas des occases
Al'origine on faisait pas dans l'oukase
A L'origine on faisait dans le détail
A L'origine on n'était pas du bétail
A L'origine on faisait pas des entailles
Longilignes on n'ouvrait pas les entrailles, Lieu
Lieu
Lieu commun

A L'origine on n'était pas des minables
A L'origine on piratait pas le câble
A L'origine il y avait moins de vocables
Entre les lignes on n'était beaucoup moins stables
A L'origine il n'y avait pasde Mossad
On s'y résigne on n'était pas si maussade
Dieu
Dieu
Dieu que c'est loin

A L'origine on avait peur de l'anthrax
De la famine de la famille de karl Marx
A L'origine on n'avait pas des Rolex
Ou des Longines on avait des solex
A L'origine tout n'était pas si complexe
A L'origine tout n'était qu'un pretexte
Crois moi trois fois rien
Je ne sais pas
Si nous étions les mêmes
Les mêmes en pires
Comment ca va finir
A L'origine
Il n'y avait qu'un soupir
Et pas d'éclair sur ta poupée de cire (bis)

[instrumental]
