PINK LYRICS

"Dear Mr. President"
(feat. Indigo Girls)

Dear Mr. President,
Come take a walk with me.
Let’s pretend we’re just two people and
You’re not better than me.
I’d like to ask you some questions if we can speak honestly.

What do you feel when you see all the homeless on the street?
Who do you pray for at night before you go to sleep?
What do you feel when you look in the mirror?
Are you proud?

How do you sleep while the rest of us cry?
How do you dream when a mother has no chance to say goodbye?
How do you walk with your head held high?
Can you even look me in the eye
And tell me why?

Dear Mr. President,
Were you a lonely boy?
Are you a lonely boy?
Are you a lonely boy?
How can you say
No child is left behind?
We’re not dumb and we’re not blind.
They’re all sitting in your cells
While you pave the road to hell.

What kind of father would take his own daughter’s rights away?
And what kind of father might hate his own daughter if she were gay?
I can only imagine what the first lady has to say
You’ve come a long way from whiskey and cocaine.

How do you sleep while the rest of us cry?
How do you dream when a mother has no chance to say goodbye?
How do you walk with your head held high?
Can you even look me in the eye?

Let me tell you ’bout hard work
Minimum wage with a baby on the way
Let me tell you ’bout hard work
Rebuilding your house after the bombs took them away
Let me tell you ’bout hard work
Building a bed out of a cardboard box
Let me tell you ’bout hard work
Hard work
Hard work
You don’t know nothing ’bout hard work
Hard work
Hard work
Oh

How do you sleep at night?
How do you walk with your head held high?
Dear Mr. President,
You’d never take a walk with me.
Would you?

Dans l’espace musicale

 

J’ai placé dans l’Espace musicale une chanson engagée de Manu CHAO, Rainin’ In Paradize. J’ai entendu la chanson à la fin de l’émission de "Une heure sur terre" diffusée à Radio-Canada les mercredi soir è 21h, et animée par l’excellent journaliste et animateur, Jean-FRançois LÉPINE.

 

Manu Chao – Rainin’ In Paradize

 

Welcome to paradize (x2)
Today it’s rainin’ (x4)
Welcome to paradize
Today it’s rainin’
Welcome to paradize
Today it’s rainin’
Welcome to paradize
Today it’s rainin’
Welcome to paradize
Today it’s rainin’

In Zaire
Was no good place to be
This world go crazy
It’s an atrocity

In Congo
Still no good place to be
Them kill me buddy
It’s a calamity

Go Masai go Masai
Be mellow
Go Masai go Masai
Be sharp

Go Masai go Masai
Be mellow
Go Masai go Masai
Be sharp

In Monrovia
This (is) no good place to be
Weapons go crazy
It’s an atrocity

In Palestinia
Too much hypocrisy
This world go crazy
It’s no fatality

Go Masai go Masai
Be mellow
Go Masai go Masai
Be sharp

Today it’s rainin’ (x4)
In paradize
Today it’s rainin’
Welcome to paradize
Today it’s rainin’
Welcome to paradize
Today it’s rainin’
Welcome to paradize
Today it’s rainin’

In Bagdad
It’s no democracy
That’s just because
It’s a US country

In Fallujah
Too much calamity
This world go crazy
It’s no fatality

Go Masai go Masai
Be mellow
Go Masai go Masai
Be sharp

Today it’s rainin’ (x4)

In Jerusalem
In Monrovia

Welcome to paradize
Today it’s rainin’

Poignée de porte amicale…

 

 

Dessinée par la jeune designer française Naomi Thellier de Poncheville, cette poignée de porte est une parfaite allégorie de la poignée de main chaleureuse. Présentée au London Design Festival, voilà une idée originale issue du portfolio de l’artiste que l’on souhaiterait bien voir un jour commercialisée.
