Paroles de Tim RICE - Musique de Michel BERGER





You'd think we'd got no cause

To kick against the pricks

To mess with politics

To tear this sucker down

No need to settle scores

When we are not deprived

This bloody perfect town

But no

We're cocky on the boulevards

A little damage done



A little damage done

Alittle harm to do

Before the night is through

Before the battle's won

And when we hit the street

Made up with shining hate

The narrow and the straight

Are skipping to our beat

Oh yes

We're striking on the boulevards

A little damage done



Hey !

Since we're the stuff of life

We've had enough of life

Nagging us, dragging us, flagging us down

Hey !

We don't want to wait for life

Degenerate in life

Screwing us, chewing us, spewing us out



A little damage done

A gesture from the guys

The ones who realise

The ending has begun

A knife that goes astray

A minor scuffle here

A small explosion there

A tiny price to pay

For life !

We're shaking up the Boulevards

A little damage done



We are the ones who care

The ones who mean to win

The ones who don't give in

To comfort or despair

And please remember this

In case of accident

That we did not invent

This dead metropolis

Nor us !

We did not build the boulevards

The damage had been done !



Hey !

Since we're the stuff of life

We've had enough of life

Nagging us, dragging us, flagging us down

Hey !

We don't want to wait for life

Degenerate in life

Screwing us, chewing us, spewing us out



So get the stretchers out

The boys are moving in

And anxious to begin

The evening's roustabout

It's gonna be a night

To stay behind locked doors

Or else embrace the cause

We know you know we're right !

And so

Be careful on the boulevards

Your precious metal boulevards

We're tearing up the boulevards

A little damage done
