Des coups de poing dans l’âme Le froid de la lame qui court Chaque jour me pousse Un peu plus vers la fin Quand je monte sur scène Comme on prend le dernier train Mme les soirs de drame Il faut trouver la flamme qu'il faut Pour toucher les femmes Qui me tendent les mains Qui me crient qu'elles m'aiment Et dont je ne sais rien C'est pour a qu'aujourd'hui je suis fatigué C'est pour a qu'aujourd'hui je voudrais crier Je ne suis pas un héros Mes faux pas me collent la peau Je ne suis pas un héros Faut pas croire ce que disent les journaux Je ne suis pas un héros un héros Je ne suis pas un héros Mes faux pas me collent la peau Je ne suis pas un héros Faut pas croire ce que disent les journaux Je ne suis pas un héros un héros Quand les cris de femmes S'accrochent mes larmes, je sais Que c'est pour m'aider A porter tous mes chagrins Je me dis qu'elles rêvent Mais a leur fait do bien A coups de poing dans l’âme J'ai trouvé la flamme qu'il faut Pour mourir célèbre Il ne faut rien emporter Que ce que les autres N'ont pas voulu garder C'est pour a qu'aujourd'hui je suis fatigué C'est pour a qu'aujourd'hui je voudrais crier Je ne suis pas un héros Mes faux pas me collent la peau Je ne suis pas un héros Faut pas croire ce que disent les journaux Je ne suis pas un héros un héros Je ne suis pas un héros Mes faux pas me collent la peau Je ne suis pas un héros Faut pas croire ce que disent les journaux Je ne suis pas un héros un héros
