Six of one and half a dozen Black guitars and plastic blues Hide behind a wall of nothing Nothing said and nothing new
4 Chords that made a million 4 Chords that made a million, million, million
You belong there on the cover You are the emperor in new clothes A man who thinks he owns the future Will sell your vacuum with his prose
4 Chords that made a million 4 Chords that made a million, million, million 4 Chords that made a million, million, million
And then a moron with a cheque book Will take you out to lunch who knows? He will tell you you´re a saviour And then he´ll drop you like a stone
4 Chords that made a million
4 Chords that made a million, million, million 4 Chords that made a million, million, million
And I have tried and I have died Trying to get through But in the end I can´t defend you
4 Chords that made a million 4 Chords that made a million, million, million 4 Chords that made a million, million, million 4 Chords that made a million, million, million

Blanc bonnet et bonnet blanc Des guitares noires et du blues en toc Se cachent derrière un mur de néant Rien à dire et rien de neuf
4 accords qui ont fait un million 4 accords qui ont fait un million, million, million
Ta place est là, sur la couverture Tu es l´empereur en habits neufs Un homme qui croit détenir l´avenir Vendra ta vacuité avec sa prose
4 accords qui ont fait un million 4 accords qui ont fait un million, million, million 4 accords qui ont fait un million, million, million
Et puis un crétin avec un chéquier T´offrira le déjeuner, qui sait? Il te dira que tu es le messie
Et puis te lâchera comme une pierre
4 accords qui ont fait un million 4 accords qui ont fait un million, million, million 4 accords qui ont fait un million, million, million
Et j´ai essayé, et je suis mort En essayant de percer Mais au final je ne peux pas te défendre
4 accords qui ont fait un million 4 accords qui ont fait un million, million, million 4 accords qui ont fait un million, million, million 4 accords qui ont fait un million, million, million
