On la malaxe ou on la broie, on la manie, on la surcharge
On l'interprète on l'a décharge, on l'a vécue on l'a connue
On a la sienne, on a la nôtre, ils ont la leur mais elle est fausse
Elle est toute faite toute fabriquée, elle est divine, mystifiée
Elle sort du puits ou du trottoir, elle est unique elle est à voir
Elle se déforme ou elle s'imprime, elle prend des coups ou bien des primes
Elle était là elle est ailleurs, elle était noire elle devient blanche
C'était en 1940, après je ne me souviens plus
La vérité est dans la rue, au parti ou dans les églises
Les épiciers l'ont dans le buffet et les filous dans leurs miroirs
Ne dites que la vérité, n'essaye pas de me rouler
Mets-toi à table sinon méfie, la véritable démocratie
Le vrai sauveur de la patrie, la vrai bataille d'Alger
Les faux témoins les faux papiers, les vrais cons les faux diplômés
Les vérités de la police, tout ce qui se passe dans la coulisse
Elle est toute nue ou crucifiée, elle est en bronze ou en acier
Elle est en plâtre ou en papier, elle était noire elle devient blanche
Y'a un aveugle qui a vu, après, Il ne se souvient plus
La vérité, chacun la sienne, on la cherche même si on la sème
On l'a perdue depuis longtemps, signe particulier, néant
La vérité dans les églises, dans les églises
Elle devient blanche elle était noire, je me souviens plus, elle est en bronze
Ou en papier ou camouflée, elle était noire, y'a un aveugle qui a vu
Chacun la sienne...
È nato da una famiglia modesta: suo padre lavorava nella fabbrica d'armi di Saint-Étienne e sua madre era un'insegnante.
