Go Tell Them
Click to see the original lyrics (French)
Go tell them, go tell them
Go tell them, go tell them
Go tell them that I don't give a damn
I'm not up for it, I'm not a part of it
I want to leave, have a bit on the side
I want to see the country, get out of this void
I just want to raise hell
Come with me, we'll take a leap of faith
We've got nothing to lose, we are young and crazy
The world is reaching out for us, that's all I say
For a long time I've wanted to leave
This small village where I grew up
I know the road, the chimneys
Every corner
There's nothing left that holds me back
Besides my mate Lucien
We've known each other since that time
Since sandbox days, with runny noses
Marbles hidden in our schoolbags
In the schoolyard we drove the girls round the bend
Even more, I count the hours
I was kept in after school
Of course I made my mother cry
My father, my aunt and my grandmother
I am what I am, a little rascal
Who likes to keep his head in the air
Go tell them that I don't give a damn
I'm not up for it, I'm not a part of it
I want to leave, have a bit on the side
I want to see the country, get out of this void
Go tell them that I don't give a damn
I'm not up for it, I'm not a part of it
I want to leave, have a bit on the side
I want to see the country, get out of this void
I just want to raise hell
Come with me, we'll take a leap of faith
We've got nothing to lose, we are young and crazy
The world is reaching out for us, that's all I say
That's all I say, that's all I say
We've been a band for two or three weeks
With our mates we'd like to make waves
But, well, for the moment there's nothing, we're practising
In the garage – the neighbours think we're fools
You want to know our style
It's a blend of pop, reggae, show tunes
With a dash of hip hop, winter and summer
We're just a couple of mates
And believe me, it's for certain that we're going to make history
You've got to understand that I can't stay stuck here
If you want to grow you have to find your ground
Right now, I admit it to you, I've only got a plan A
But who knows, tomorrow I might have a plan B
Go tell them that I don't give a damn
I'm not up for it, I'm not a part of it
I want to leave, have a bit on the side
I want to see the country, get out of this void
Go tell them that I don't give a damn
I'm not up for it, I'm not a part of it
I want to leave, have a bit on the side
I want to see the country, get out of this void
I just want to raise hell
Come with me, we'll take a leap of faith
We've got nothing to lose, we are young and crazy
The world is reaching out for us, that's all I say
Go tell them, go tell them
Go tell them, go tell them
Go tell them, go tell them
We've got nothing to lose, we are young and crazy
The world is reaching out for us, that's all I say
Go tell them that I don't give a damn
I'm not up for it, I'm not a part of it
I want to leave, have a bit on the side
I want to see the country, get out of this void
I just want to raise hell
Come with me, we'll take a leap of faith
We've got nothing to lose, we are young and crazy
The world is reaching out for us, that's all I say
