Lyrics and translation Chumbawamba - Never Do What You Are Told




Never Do What You Are Told
Ne fais jamais ce qu'on te dit
This coat my royal gown
Ce manteau, ma robe royale
A stolen hand-me-down
Un vêtement d'occasion volé
No need to scrape and bow
Pas besoin de se rabaisser et de s'incliner
We can be heroes now
On peut être des héros maintenant
For more than just one day
Pour plus d'un jour
And here's how
Et voici comment
Look both ways when crossing roads
Regarde dans les deux sens en traversant les routes
Don't wear slippers 'til you're old
Ne porte pas de pantoufles avant d'être vieux
Never do what you are told
Ne fais jamais ce qu'on te dit
Never do what you are told
Ne fais jamais ce qu'on te dit
Never do what you are told...
Ne fais jamais ce qu'on te dit...

Исполнитель Chumbawamba, альбом The Boy Bands Have Won, and All the Copyists and the Tribute Bands and the TV Talent Show Producers Have Won, If We Allow Our Culture to Be Shaped by Mimicry, Whether from Lack of Ideas or From Exaggerated Respect. You Should Never Try to Freeze Culture. What You Can Do Is Recycle That Culture. Take Your Older Brother's Hand-Me-Down Jacket and Re-Style It, Re-Fashion It to the Point Where It Becomes Your Own. But Don't Just Regurgitate Creative History, or Hold Art and Music and Literature as Fixed, Untouchable and Kept Under Glass. The People Who Try to 'Guard' Any Particular Form of Music Are, Like the Copyists and Manufactured Bands, Doing It the Worst Disservice, Because the Only Thing That You Can Do to Music That Will Damage It Is Not Change It, Not Make It Your Own. Because Then It Dies, Then It's Over, Then It's Done, and the Boy Bands Have Won.
