They wanted to protest,
they wanted to be heard
For the first time in their life,
not second or third
Don't care about politics,
but today they decide
Won't turn the other cheek, today they pick a side
He was an average guy outside of the ring
Then he became a star, a boxing gipsy king
She struggled everyday, isolated and weak
Now she feels powerful at the end of each week
One three one two
They were searching for hope you gave 'em metal
One three one two
To protect and to serve capital
Now they've lost a foot, a hand or an eye
Whatever they wanted, the price is way too high
At first they shouted: "justice" now they whisper: "vengeance »
Grenades against slogans that's how we do in France
They have wooden legs, hooks and eye patches
There's a pirate gang looting Champs-élysées
Now push a little further, harden even more
Soon a zombie army will be knocking at your door
