L'effet de masse [English translation]

He was in my class, he lived on your street

It was the one across the street, yes, you've seen him before

He shared your bus in the evil mornings

You laughed at him because he was different

Today, it's the same old story

In life or in the rumors

In the beautiful ice offices

As in school corridors

It's always the group mentality

Which breaks us and isolates us

On the screens, under masks

In the looks that laugh

It's always the group mentality

Which breaks us and isolates us

He was in my class, he lived on your street

He was the one who passes, but his name, I don't know anymore

How stupid can we be when there are more of us

I admit it with a heavy heart, yes, I laughed with them

Today, it's the same old story

In life or in the rumors

In the beautiful ice offices

As in all schoolyards

It's always the group mentality

Which classifies us and hits us

On the screens, under masks

In the looks that laugh

It's always the group mentality

Which breaks us and isolates us

He was out of the way and there were several of us

You need a foil to feel better

He was in my class, he lived on your street

It was the one across the street, we never saw him again
