Lyrics That Angry Man on the Pier - Hubert-Félix Thiéfaine

Hard enough to be yourself
Too much work to be somebody else
It′s too much work and a lot of make up my dear
For that angry man standing on the pier

Don't you think it′s hard enough
To be yourself
Too much work to be somebody else

Hard enough not to be anybody
To slay the beast, to kill the fear
For that man in his fifties
Staring at the sea
That angry man standing on the pier

Don't you think it's hard enough
To be yourself
Too much work to be somebody else
Vire cette pierre de ton coeur
Elle fait plus le poids
Faut parfois sortir de soi
...just an angry man standing on the pier
