Beautiful Losers [English translation]

I jump from one show to another: from Rihanna’s blackeyes

To the spray of Mentos and diet Coke

From channel to channel, from Ilan to Youssouf Fofana

From Obama in the embrace of Loana

Two girls and their “…” *1*

Why do I check it out? It doesn’t help me, that goes without saying!

Daft Punk on someone’s ten fingers *2*

Miss Amanda, the rap and the CFA francs, *3*

A young blonde girl in coupé-décalé Gwada, *4*

A ninja with an afro playing with nunchucks, *5*

Photos from Tupac Shakur’s autopsy.

Each day, I go from morbid to frivolous

I lose myself in a labyrinth of useless images

A girl stacking cups into a pyramid *6*

I tell myself yes she is quick while I waste my time

In the Thames, we surf on dynamite, the friend *7*

Having its fifteen minutes of fame as Andy (Warhol) said.

People, people, people, people...

Beautiful losers...

Sit up straight and listen,

Just too much information,

Please won't you let me be,

Is it my own choice, that it puzzles me so?

Stop! Need to turn you off, yes it's time to go...

Calmness breeds imagination,

And silence punctuates the sound,

It's a very numbing feeling as

Our pencils hit the ground,

The quiet fire of revolution,

Once again starts inside.

People, people, people, people...

Beautiful losers...

A revolution sponsored by Nokia

The suffering of a state in the eyes of Neda *8*

Excuse me, if I don’t hang around

But I prefer the helicopter, Kama Sutra style.

Amy’s on crack, Britney’s head is shaved

Laure’s ass in the air, comfortable, like Paris (Hilton), have you seen the clip? *9*

I have a square pupil, bloodshot eyes

Have strength to fix the screen in the display

My gaze goes back in the lines, slowly, in no rush

squandering my time, wandering from one to another

Set up like “pop corn and cell phones” *10*

As Yankee as the right to bear arms and hotdogs

Ray-Ban and top model, in a crisis of putting on skis

Bankable like Bruni Tedeschi

In low spirits, just business,

A poor copy of life

An industry that stammers

An industry that stammers.
