Changes
Damn !
The more I go forward, the more I grow up, the less I understand
Porn sites are like real life
You can get a virus
When I was a child, there was no Internet
We hanged around in bus shelters
Had to wait for sunday to see naked girls
Since then, I make myself come within five minutes with E-mule
We never got any female, we hanged around only between guys
Since then, people meet up in the fields to take pills
In the club cock circulates, fags gesticulate
The particles you see on the sweaters aren't dandruff
Damn... it seems smoking spliffs isn't enough anymore
My GameBoy generation sniffs more lines than when playing Tetris
Since we've prefered cigarette packs to chip packages
Team sports spin out of control, there are grizzly bears in Memphis
Now radio doesn't give a shit to your playlists
Now you gotta get under their desks so they play your discs
The bigger the carotte, the wider listeners spread their laps
2006 top album is Elvis's banana
(chorus)
Old people don't understand what's happening in youth's minds
They're not brought up by TV, by PlayStation
They don't understand how crazy we are
They don't know Internet, clubs, kebabs, DVDs
Old people don't understand what's happening in youth's minds
They're not brought up by TV, by PlayStation
They don't understand how crazy we are
They don't know rap, cell phones, hashish, Desperados
Fashion men are gayer than most of seals
Old people are longing to be dead... are nostalgic about the good old times
Youth are totally lost so they take drugs
The youngest are dumb, only good at making blogs
Even to chat up, you gotta know the codes
Would you accept to s*** me on MSN ? lol
That's more than a fad, that's school's doctrine
You're no one if you don't have a damn good ringtone
Children think TV is reality
But their prefab stars quickly become poor again
Now chicks wear Louis Vuitton, big golden glasses
Before it was only for old blond bleached-haired
Peeps dress like chicks and chicks dress like bitches
They love sissy men as if they were lesbian
Now all French city-centers are the same
Same fucking Fnac's, Mc Donald's, Foot Locker's, Célio's, Zara's, H&M's*
Medias tell the same bullshit, we take the bait
Because we're sent too much information every second
Before I used to buy flows, I used to listen to those I didn't like
Now I've got a 40 Giga MP3 I don't even listen to
You'll stay on the sideline if you move too slowly
That's a race, we all hardly follow with the change
Keeping up with the movement is a full time job
I'm late, always late, I'm late, late
You'll stay on the sideline if you move too slowly
That's a race, we all hardly follow with the change
Keeping up with the movement is a full time job
I'm late all the time, like that white rabbit slut
(chorus)

Sorry for the bad language, if you find it offensive, but I like this song for comparing the way society was before new technologies, and the way Orelsan expresses it with humor :D
