Manhattan-Kaboul
[Renaud]
Little Puerto Rican, well integrated, almost New Yorker
In my all steel and glass skyscraper
I'm going for work, having a line of coke and a coffee
[Axelle Red]
Little afghan girl, on the other side of the earth
Never heard about Manhattan
My daily life, it's misery and war
[Chorus]
[R] Two strangers at world's end, so different
[AR] Two unknown, two anonymous, and yet
[together] Crushed on the altar of eternal violence
[R] A 747 got exploded in my windows
[AR] My so much blue sky became thunderstorm
When bombs razed my village
[Chorus]
[R] So long, farewell my American dream
[AR] As for me, I won't never be slave of these dogs again
[R] They were imposing you the Islam of tyrants
[together] Have they ever read the Koran ?
[Renaud]
(I) Came back to dust
I won't be master of the universe
This country I loved so much would finally be a giant with feet of clay ?
[Axelle Red]
Gods, religions
Civilisations wars
Weapons, flags, patries, nations
Always make us cannon fodder
[Chorus x2]
