Putain c'est trop con Ce putain de camion Mais qu'est-ce qu'y foutait là? Putain de vie de merde T'as roulé dans l'herbe Et nous, tu nous plantes là J'espère au moins que là-haut Y'a beaucoup moins de salauds Tu nous laisses avec les chiens Avec les méchants, les crétins Sous un soleil qui brille moins fort et moins loin Je voudrais me blottir dans un coin Avec Marius, avec Romain Pleurer avec eux jusqu'à la Saint-Glinglin Putain, j'ai la rage Contre ce virage Et contre ce jour-là Où tu t'es vautré Dire que c'était l'été Dans ma tête y fait froid J'espère au moins que là-haut T'as acheté un vélo Lolita a plus de parrain Nous on a plus notre meilleur copain T'étais un clown mais t'étais pas un pantin Enfoiré on t'aimait bien Maintenant on est tous orphelins Putain de camion, putain de destin, tiens ça craint Enfoiré on t'aimait bien Maintenant on est tous orphelins Putain de camion, putain de destin, tiens ça craint
