[Lyric] OrelSan - Civilisation English Translation (Genius English Translations)

[Verse 1]
I don’t know how to save the world, and if I did I’m not sure I’d do it
I don’t have much to give you, except telling you who I am and what I know
I’ll never do what I’m asking to first, lies spread quicker than the truth
I pursued happiness without really taking the time to know what it was
I’m trying to have a child, I’m trying to have other things than regrets
When he’ll see 2022, I’d understand that he starts crying
They say everything will collapse, that we’ll all perish in three degrees
I thought science would save us but I have less and less trust in progress
I don’t even know why I think about that, I know nothing about it, what do I know?
Only data for the GAFA, bastard, you’re nothing but a number
I have some moments of clarity, but most of the time I’m stupid
I only know bad drinks that make me a mean drunk
I was afraid to understand nothing, now I’m afraid there’s nothing to understand
Trapped in our own system, captive of a stuck save
I’m from the place where the fathers look like Coluche, I come from the Norman countryside
They just love the good deals, all they want is to watch the bric-a-brac show
Mom told me “if there’re poor people, that’s because they didn’t work hard enough at school”
It’s not her fault, her mother told the same shit to her kids
It’s not her fault, her mother… Anyway, we have to break this fucking cycle
It’s a vicious fucking circle, I can’t do it alone, you have to help me
[Bridge]
Help me (help me, help me)
Walk (walk, walk)
Walk with me (walk with me, walk with me), teach me (teach me)
Mega, mega, mega, mega

[Verse 2]
I can’t do it alone, you have to help me, let’s agree to sometimes disagree
Treat me like you would me to treat you, succeed without doing good, that’s losing
Teach me honesty, don’t judge me, I won’t want to lie as much
I’ve been told “Be strong, you have to become a man”, remind me that my strength is to be sensitive
When there’s no meaning in life, help me find one, divert me from the wrong paths
Remind me that we can believe we’re no one when we’re trying too much to be someone
Help me find the balance, we never stop growing up
I know best to give advices than to listen to them, one day we’ll die, every other we’ll live
Forget the future, it was before, forget the last future
It’s not sure we’re there, teach me forgiveness, patience
We have to be better than our parents, we have to learn how to forget
I can't believe time is for sale, that we’re just markets value
Before, I dreamt to leave France, I’m staying, I prefer to change it
Mix old and new beliefs, mix humanism and science
Of course it’s not like before, you have to accept it, that’s the concept of time
The world is moving, take me in the flow, take my power, the temptation is too big
Take my ignorance, I have to put a name on things to understand them
I’m trying to have a child, I’m trying to have a civilization, I can’t do it alone, we will have to do it together
[Outro]
Everything is transformed, nothing is lost
I've done things I'm not proud of
I want to become better, I can't go back
I was all alone, we are thousands
Soon, you'll all forget me
Sorry but I'm gonna have to leave you
Just know we had fun
Yesterday was yesterday, today I'm clearing my debts, uh
I wouldn't trade what I have for eternal youth, uh
We did what we did the way we did but we did it, uh
Everything is transformed, nothing is lost, shadow and light
