Paroles et traduction Jean Leloup - Johnny Go

Johnny Go

Et les pièces sont vides à présent et je suis libre de mon temps
Faire un café, fumer un joint me semble intelligent
La chose à faire en ce cas-là n′est pas prescrite par la loi
Ni par les Tables de la Foi
Tu n'es pas ici, des murs sont disparus, tes nus, tes photos et tes meubles rococo
J′arrive d'un endroit où j'ai senti l′absurde d′ici-bas
Dans un building où on voulait me trouer le dos
Take the money and go Johnny go
Take the money (ha ha ha) et je go (ha ha)
Take the money and go Johnny go
Take the money and go Johnny go
Take the money and go
Take the money et je go, Johnny go, Johnny go
Yah, je mets la clé dans la serrure, le bruit me semble un bruit de mort
Je sens une oppression qui vient du vide autour de moi
La nuit est noire et les immeubles me font penser à un immense fantôme
Une menace qui me guette, un froid dans l'enclos
Je me sens prisonnier d′un immense jeu de drapeaux
Je suis dans l'embarras, aidez-moi
Take the money and go Johnny go
(Take the money et je go)
Je take the money et je go
Take the money and go Johnny go
(Take the money and go)
Take the money and go Johnny go
(Je take the money et je go)
Take the money and go Johnny go-o-o
Et j′ai vu le grand monde, le petit et le gros
Survivre est une loi pour les rois de la riff
Attaque organisée des fuckés sur les ondes
Attaque organisée, trois minutes vingt secondes
Je connais les pushers les plus drôles en ville
Et je connais aussi monsieur cigares Davidoff
Qui fume des barreaux d'chaise à soixante piasses la puff (la puff)
Qui fume des barreaux d′chaise à soixante piasses
Mes amis, ameches, amigos and friends
I'm pressing pause with the thought to send
You see, I'm shaking up, breaking up a bet
I′m the Bran Man cracking the dope of intellect
Against the fibre, and take you higher
I′m swimming upstream from the downward spiral
(Plus de rap)
You're sexist
My name, bitches Mother Nature
So if you′re acting like life is a big commercial
Stuffing your face until your tummy is full, full
Wake up now, don't starve
′Cause if you're sleeping, I′m the wakeup call
But who am I to holler?
I'm just rapping for the dollar
Staying retina on your wallet
And your ring around the collar
Generation X marks the spot
I cut my loses and I target your market
Sorry White Boys who wanna stay alive
Stay alive for this glorious life
Johnny go
Take the money and go Johnny go
Take the money and go Johnny go
(Take the money and go)
Take the money and go Johnny go
(Je take the money et je go)
Take the money and go Johnny go
(Je take the money et je go)
Et les murs sont vides de ta douleur, de tes couleurs et de ta parano
Tu me manqueras, mais moi, je repars survivre ailleurs
Adieu, je t'oublierai au détour de la vie, car il faut tout d′abord survivre au ghetto
Je repars, ma douleur pour moi seul, je sais que tu ne seras plus là
Pour me soutenir au combat, alors il fera trop froid, alors il fera trop froid
C′est pourquoi
Je take the money et je go (Johnny go)
(And I like it)
Je take the money et je go

Johnny Go

And the rooms are empty now, and I'm free with my time
Making coffee, smoking a joint seems smart to me
The thing to do in this case isn't prescribed by law
Nor by the Tablets of the Faith
You're not here, walls have disappeared, your nudes, your photos, and your rococo furniture
I come from a place where I felt the absurdity of this world
In a building where they wanted to put a hole in my back
Take the money and go Johnny go
Take the money (ha ha ha) and I go (ha ha)
Take the money and go Johnny go
Take the money and go Johnny go
Take the money and go
Take the money and I go, Johnny go, Johnny go
Yah, I put the key in the lock, the sound seems like a death knell
I feel an oppression coming from the emptiness around me
The night is black and the buildings remind me of a giant ghost
A threat that watches me, a cold in the enclosure
I feel like a prisoner of a giant game of flags
I'm in trouble, help me
Take the money and go Johnny go
(Take the money and I go)
I take the money and I go
Take the money and go Johnny go
(Take the money and go)
Take the money and go Johnny go
(I take the money and I go)
Take the money and go Johnny go-o-o
And I've seen the big world, the small and the fat
Survival is a law for the kings of the riff
Organized attack of the fucked up on the airwaves
Organized attack, three minutes twenty seconds
I know the funniest pushers in town
And I also know Mr. Davidoff cigars
Who smokes chair bars at sixty bucks a puff (a puff)
Who smokes chair bars at sixty bucks
My friends, ameches, amigos and friends
I'm pressing pause with the thought to send
You see, I'm shaking up, breaking up a bet
I'm the Bran Man cracking the dope of intellect
Against the fibre, and take you higher
I'm swimming upstream from the downward spiral
(No more rap)
You're sexist
My name, bitches Mother Nature
So if you're acting like life is a big commercial
Stuffing your face until your tummy is full, full
Wake up now, don't starve
'Cause if you're sleeping, I'm the wakeup call
But who am I to holler?
I'm just rapping for the dollar
Staying retina on your wallet
And your ring around the collar
Generation X marks the spot
I cut my loses and I target your market
Sorry White Boys who wanna stay alive
Stay alive for this glorious life
Johnny go
Take the money and go Johnny go
Take the money and go Johnny go
(Take the money and go)
Take the money and go Johnny go
(I take the money and I go)
Take the money and go Johnny go
(I take the money and I go)
And the walls are empty of your pain, your colors and your paranoia
I will miss you, but I'm leaving to survive elsewhere
Farewell, I'll forget you at the turn of life, because first you have to survive the ghetto
I'm leaving, my pain for me alone, I know you won't be there anymore
To support me in the fight, so it will be too cold, so it will be too cold
That's why
I take the money and I go (Johnny go)
(And I like it)
I take the money and I go
