Les choses [English translation]

If I had this , if I had that stuff

I would be like this or like that

Without goods I am nothing

Everyone is staring me

I need the other's wealth

I would die if I can't obtain what I don't have

Happiness is opulence

The supermarkets are my temples

In my uniforms , which are all of famous brands

My goods give me an identity

I am praying goods , and the goods converted me

They frame me , they put a price on me

I am praying goods , they are the fulfilment of my life

It's not " I think, therefore I am " anymore but " I own therefore I am "

Goods that I have to put on the shelf , to sell , to propose

A bimbo on the side for presentation

Without my throne and my sceptre I hate myself

I am the King but the King is naked and useless

I have the perfume of Jordan

There is a part of him in my shoes

I am buying goods to exist

I am someone in this car

A flash-to-flash life

Video clips and nightclubs and cigarettes and fast-foods

Easy with stimulants and tranquillisers

But always fast , have to escape the emptiness and anxiety

There is no sense of good or bad anymore , the reference is what is on TV

Nobel Prize or a scandal ? Both are called VIP

I am praying goods , and the goods converted me

They frame me , they put a price on me

I am praying goods , they are the fulfilment of my life

It's not " I think, therefore I am " anymore but " I possess therefore I am "

Goods that I have to put on the shelf , to sell , to propose

With a brainless but boobsful woman

Without my throne and my sceptre I hate myself

I am the King but the King is naked and useless

I am praying goods , and the goods converted me

They frame me , they put a price on me

I am praying goods , they are the fulfilment of my life

It's not " I think, therefore I am " anymore but " I possess therefore I am "

A tattoo , body piercing , jewellery

I only want to be seen , the image is enough

Political correctness and mainstream thoughts

That is all I am
