Il était une fois, dans les Terres Immergées
Une île et un clergé en pleine mer Egée
Cette île était parabole de l'Homme
Le climat était chaud et la mer était bonne
Pas d'stress, toutes les richesses étaient distribuées
Pas d'chef, chacune des tâches était attribuée
Mais l'homme moderne est arrivé
Avec une caste, une armée, un clergé
La bataille fut rude et les eaux agitées
Et malgré les efforts l'île a capitulé
Depuis, quand le soleil est sombre
Nombre d'entre nous résistent ou bien succombent
J'ai lutté contre vents et marées
Résisté aux sirènes qui voulaient me noyer
Naufragé isolé seul et face au monde
Malgré tous ces efforts, je ne pourrai pas sauver le monde
Sauvez le monde !
Il était une fois, un monde merveilleux
Une planète bleue façonnée par les cieux
Un monde où l'on vénérait l'astre solaire
Pour ses bienfaits de Katmandou aux cercles polaires
Mais beaucoup d'entre nous on été happés par l'ombre
Et à chaque lune claire augmente ce nombre
A chaque lune claire augmentent les fléaux
Et l'huile de la roche se verse dans les eaux
L'homme semble être un loup pour l'homme
Et nous sommes comme pris dans un sauna de vapeurs chloroformes
Si j'écris ces mots c'est que je viens des pays secs
Et qu'depuis des siècles il n'y a pas eu de plan ORSEC
J'aurais aimé porter la lampe, la torche et le flambeau
Aimé changer le monde par le poids des mots
Apporter l'étincelle au plus grand nombre
Mais quoi qu'je fasse, je ne pourrai pas sauver le monde.
Sauvez le monde !
Imagine le monde, la modernité
Avec de la volonté on peut tout changer
Je suis à genoux sur le Lac Salé
Le front sur le sol en train de méditer
C'qui est à ma portée, c'est casser des portes
Et apporter de l'aide quand le fardeau est lourd à porter
Le faire sur portée musicale n'est pas assez
Il faudrait tout recommencer :
L'osmose serait de changer les choses
De voir en anamorphose jusqu'à la métamorphose
D'écouter le Ch?ur des Anges comme les voix d'outre-tombe
Parce que j'entends leur cri du coeur qui nous dit : "Sauvez le Monde !"
Sauvez le Monde !
Dis MC, pourquoi on peut pas sauver le monde ?
Car la Terre vit dans l'ère de l'éther délétère
Car l'Homme est minéral et son coeur est fait de pierre
Parce qu'Abel, Caïn , Fabrice, Sophie et Lucien
S'allièrent avec l'ange qui exila le bien
Dis MC, pourquoi tu peux pas sauver le monde ?
Parce que j'ai vu la nuit estomper la clarté
Et le monde devint pénombre par fondue enchaînée
Quand il pleut je vois plein d'espoir devenir plat
Comme s'ils avaient pris le pli, fiat lux elle n'est plus
Pourquoi tu peux pas sauver le monde ?
Parce que j'suis pas Superman, et qu'ça va super mal
Et que Barbie et Ken sont devenus super mad
J'aimerais que tu fasses quelque chose
Je te le demande, promets - moi
Si tu le peux, s'il te plait
Si vous le pouvez : sauvez le monde.
