Qui dit étude dit travail
Qui dit taf te dit les thunes
Qui dit argent dit dépenses
Qui dit crédit dit créance
Qui dit dette te dit huissier
Et lui dit assis dans la merde
Qui dit Amour dit les gosses
Dit toujours et dit divorce
Qui dit proches te dis deuils car les problèmes ne viennent pas seul
Qui dit crise te dis monde dit famine dit tiers- monde
Qui dit fatigue dit réveille encore sourd de la veille
Alors on sort pour oublier tous les problèmes

Alors on danse
Alors on danse
Alors on danse
Alors on danse
Alors on danse
Alors on danse
Alors on danse
Alors on danse
Alors on danse

Et la tu te dis que c’est fini car pire que ça ce serait la mort
Qu’en tu crois enfin que tu t’en sors quand y en a plus et ben y en a encore
Est-ce la zik ou les problèmes, les problèmes ou bien la musique
Ça te prends les trips ça te prends la tête et puis tu prie pour que ça s’arrête
Mais c’est ton corps c’est pas le ciel alors tu te bouche plus les oreilles
Et là tu cries encore plus fort et ça persiste

Alors on chante
Lalalalalala, lalalalalala
Alors on chante
Lalalalalala, lalalalalala

Alors on chante
Alors on chante
Et puis seulement quand c'est fini, alors on danse

Alors on danse
Alors on danse
Alors on danse
Alors on danse
Alors on danse
Alors on danse
Alors on danse

Et ben y en a encore
Et ben y en a encore
Et ben y en a encore
Et ben y en a encore
Et ben y en a encore
