My country feels bad

The country feels bad
The country feels bad
The country feels bad
From bad to worse
My country feels bad
 
Before, we did not call people
Northerners and Southerners
Now today everything is ruined
The Army is divided
The society is divided
The students are divided
Even our mothers in the market square
are divided
 
The country feels bad
The country feels bad
The country feels bad
From bad to worse
My country feels bad
 
Before, we did not call people
Christians
nor Muslims
Now today
they ruined everything
The Army is divided
The society is divided
The students are divided
Even our mothers in the market square
are divided
 
The country feels bad
The country feels bad
The country feels bad
From bad to worse
My country feels bad
 
We lack remedies
against injustice, tribalism,
xenophobia.
After ivority1,
they cried out "i de als"2
 
The country feels bad
The country feels bad
The country feels bad
From bad to worse
My country feels bad
 
The country is in turmoil
They want to mess things up
back home
The country is in turmoil
They want to mess things up
back home
Let all who want to bring about
the downfall of our country
be punished by God (Allah)
Things are a mess
It's everybody for himself
 
The country feels bad
The country feels bad
The country feels bad
From bad to worse
My country feels bad
 
The country feels bad
The country feels bad
The country feels bad
From bad to worse
My country feels bad

Salut,

une suggestion :
"avant on ne parlait pas de.." → we didn't used to talk about..
Le they de généralité n'a rien de faux mais puisque le chanteur parle de son propre pays, je pense qu'il peut s'inclure lui-même avec we.
