Y a une grande ferme qui meurt seule au coeur de mon pays
La banque a saisi la maison, toutes les terres, la vie,
Y a comme un trou béant dans mon coeur et c'est comme un feu mort
Y a un trou dans mon ciel, là où vivait Dieu
Y a une jeune femme qui pleure seule au coeur de mon pays
Et le puits de ses larmes est si noir que nul n'y boira
Plus jamais, la chanson à sa bouche asséchée ne fleurira
C'est son âme et sa terre que l'on porte au cimetière, aujourd'hui
Mon rêve américain
Nos lendemains qui chantent
Se déchirent dans nos mains
Dans ce monde en tourmente
C'est une grande terre qui meurt seule au coeur de mon pays
L'huissier a vendu le tracteur, la télé, le lit,
Ce petit paysan qui s'endort au coeur de mon pays
Se réveillera demain sur une terre de misère à crédit
Mon rêve américain
De ces rêves sans fin
Nos lendemains qui chantent
De ces matins qui chantent
Se déchirent dans nos mains
Qui connaît le chemin
Dans ce monde en tourmente
Dans ce monde en tourmente
Y a une jeune femme qui pleure seule au coeur de mon pays
C'est son âme et sa terre que l'on porte au cimetière, aujourd'hui
Y a une grande ferme qui meurt seule au coeur de mon pays
L'Etat a choisi les jachères, le désert, l'oubli...
