Silver signorita was working toiling everyday
Trying every now and then to save up her little wage
İn Eurodollars
Why don't you pin them on my wedding suit?
Dollars
They are very part of my boredom blues
I'll work in your restaurant if you wire me a decent pay
But I'll be on the road by the end of the month of May
I’ll work in your kindergarten to round up my ends of months
I’ll try and avoid the beer gardens and my friends but it’s just too tough
Eurodollars
Won't you help me in this pantomime
Dollars
My life is hanging on the line
Dollars
I think about them all the time
Dollars
Went to see Moctezuma
And he told me about his precious stones
I jumped and I told him I’ve got an sickness
That can only be cured with gold
So he organized a parade
With dancing girls and emerald
But we drew our guns and bayonets
And we asked them where’s the treasure trove
I want my dollars
and see some places before I die
Dollars
inflation rates are rocket high
Dollars
I need some slices from that precious pie
Dollars
Invocated satisfied desire
Dollars
Society that’s simplified
Eurodollars
Dongs & liras
crowns & yuans
yens & pounds
the broken lights of a billboard
you were near

He can stop the rising waters
Reverse all climate change
Shift the worldwide order
Tweak the carbon chain
And he lives in a tinfoil capsule
Has an app just to speed the rain
Keeps a laser in his bedroom
Hears the signal, and flies away
How can we protect him?
From all these bouts of sarcasm
Why do they endanger him?
With words, only with words
In a treehouse, removed from wretched human ways
Fly along the rainbow river, now a super girl!
She’s got the slickest costume, and a revolving candy grenade
A mask covers just over halft of her face
And lipstick
Of the shiniest red
Why do they plot her downfall
From their silver gilded chambers
Their own set of crooked values
Will disperse
And scatter away
Ladybugman…
Ladybugman…
Ladybugman…
Ladybugman…
(instrumental break)
Ladybugman…
Ladybugman…
Ladybugman…
Ladybugman…
They’re gonna chase her, they wanna kill her
They’re gonna rock the boat to get her
And send her body all way down the ocean waves
And some people will remember
How she partied on a September day
Ladybugman
You were wearing
Degenerate red
Ladybugman…
Ladybugman…
Ladybugman…
Ladybugman…

J’ai pris du grade et bu de la gnôle
C’était de l’agneau c’était trop drôle
J’ai eu des a j’ai eu des o
Faut souffrir pour devenir beau
J’ai eu les boules à Istanbul
Pas de thunes mais c’était cool
J’étais comme une fusée sur la lune
Des légionnaires de dalmatiens
Fument des joints comme des martiens
Et les bambins qui pensent à rien
Seront politiciens du lendemain
Les uns s’occupent jamais des autres
Ce sont les autres qui s’occupent des uns
Les petites gens aux petits riens
gardent au chaud leur petit magot
Toutes les nuits
Toues les heures
Toutes les nuits
Toues les heures
Je voudrais m’enfuir tout de suite
De ces égoistes
Ego ego ego ego égoistes
Egoistes
Ego ego ego
Le sang qui glisse
Les fous du slip qui voyagent bien
Aiment bien quand on vous bouche un coin
Et toi qui fait que suivre la loi
T’as l’impression d’avoir un petit pois
Y a des bosseurs et des branleurs
C’est pas moi c’est un leurre
Toutes les nuits et toutes les heures
Je voudrais m’enfuir
Tout de suite
De ces égoistes, égoïstes, égoistes, égoistes égoistes
J’étais un égoïste
Ego ego ego ego ego égoiste
Egoiste
Ego ego ego le sang qui glisse!
C’est si dur pour moi d’imaginer
Comment je vais changer la vitesse du monde?
J’étais un égoïste!
J’ai dû changer ma, perception des choses
Y a des banquiers qui sont des brigands
Et des brigands qui sont des banquiers
Quand c’est officieux c’est officiel
Quand tu paies c’est bagatelle
Comme du porno sur un minitel
Quand c’est premium ça passe crème
Soudoyer, c’est normal
C’est un sport national
Et toutes les nuits et toutes les heures je voudrais m’enfuir
Tout de suite tout de suite tout de suite
De ces égoïstes
Ego ego ego égoistes
Egoiste
Ego ego ego
Le sang qui glisse
