Lyrics and translation The Jam - The Great Depression
I
think
we
must
have
all
gone
mad
Je
pense
que
nous
devons
tous
avoir
perdu
la
tête
Maybe
right
turned
over
Peut-être
que
le
bien
s'est
retourné
They
promise
us
the
earth
Ils
nous
promettent
la
terre
Instead
we′ve
got
the
great
depression
Au
lieu
de
ça,
on
a
la
grande
dépression
Now
you're
free
and
easy
with
the
base
Maintenant,
tu
es
libre
et
à
l'aise
avec
la
base
You
blame
your
brothers
and
sisters
Tu
blâmes
tes
frères
et
sœurs
And
neurotics
say
sod
the
rest
Et
les
névrosés
disent
au
diable
le
reste
It′s
the
new
dissention
C'est
la
nouvelle
dissidence
Into
the
abyss
Dans
l'abysse
By
pushing
forwards
En
poussant
en
avant
It's
always
down
C'est
toujours
en
bas
It's
a
desperate
war
C'est
une
guerre
désespérée
You′re
trying
to
blow
yourselves
up
Tu
essaies
de
te
faire
exploser
You
don′t
care
who
you
stand...
with
the
help
about
Tu
ne
te
soucies
pas
de
qui
tu
te
tiens...
avec
l'aide
à
propos
Hey
heywell
that's
not
the
way
Hé
hé,
eh
bien,
ce
n'est
pas
la
voie
No
sense
or
reason
in
your
fussing
and
fighting
Aucun
sens
ou
raison
dans
tes
disputes
et
tes
combats
And
your
violent
obsession
Et
ton
obsession
violente
Who′s
ever
really
left
feeling
fine
Qui
a
vraiment
le
sentiment
d'aller
bien
After
the
great
depression?
Après
la
grande
dépression
?
No
sense
of
purpose
in
the
competion
Aucun
sens
du
but
dans
la
compétition
Keeping
up
with
the
Jones's
Tenir
le
rythme
avec
les
Jones
You
buy
a
house,
Tu
achètes
une
maison,
You
buy
a
car
Tu
achètes
une
voiture
You
buy
a
marriage
and
a
bed
of
roses
Tu
achètes
un
mariage
et
un
lit
de
roses
Into
the
abyss
Dans
l'abysse
By
pushing
forwards
En
poussant
en
avant
It′s
always
down
C'est
toujours
en
bas
It's
a
desperate
war
C'est
une
guerre
désespérée
You′re
