Marchand de cailloux [English translation]

Say daddy, when does he come

The stone merchant

I want some in my shoes

in guise of toys

with my girlfriends in class

we don't get it all

why the big ugly ones

cause evil around

why the children of Belfast

and of all the ghettos

when they throw a stone

they get snuffed

I believed that David and Goliath

it was still true

that the littlest ones could resist

without being the deadest

Say daddy, when does he come

The freedom merchant

he forgot a ton

while doing his round

why do the kids end up starving

when we choke

in front of our TVs, like morons

under tons of food

Say daddy, when does he come

the tenderness merchant

if he is on the next sidewalk

tell'im to cross the road

I can give'im some

for the ones in need

I received so much, old pal

that I can give it a plenty

I want to share my Mac Donald's

with the hungry

I want to give nice warm love

to the ones with nothing

Is that being a commie

or a real christian

me, I don't care about those words

I want t be a real human

Say daddy, all those speeches

are hurting my ears

even the ones full of love

it's all the same

it does like holes in my head

it ruins my whole life

it causes me to see on my planet

‘Inti Fadas´ everywhere

Say daddy, when does he come

The stone merchant

I want some in my shoes

in guise of toys

And maybe that, on your guitar

I'll throw some too

If you use me, coward

to sing your bullshit

And maybe that, on your guitar

I'll throw some too

If you use me, coward

to sing your bullshit
