De si gros billets pour peu de némo et si peu d'heureux
Faire des économies en Euros relève du Super-Héros
Tout a augmenté, arrondi au plus haut
Même l'épicier d'à coté a changé ses promos
C'est plus gros qu'le Dollar, c'est tant de francs CFA
De Babylone au Paradis tant de Céfran chéfa
On nous parlait d'écu au début et on a eu l'Euro
Mais l'Euro ou l'écu de toute façon on l'a dans l'... (bip)

Above the Law

Torn apart, don't speak
Stretched thin
Woe is me (woe is me, woe is me) way
It's why it's not softening
Since the law arrived
It's crying nuts crying
You work hard, you earn little
You save up, you count
They know the earth is disappearing
Anyway, you close the tap
You play hard, you win little
You save up, you count
Money is leaving in a trickle
Sugarcane juice, catch syrup
Kassav-Passi, new salvo! yeah!
I tell you, Torn apart
Pay the rent Don't speak
A little short film Which way
A little basket of racing Stretched thin
I tell you, I tell you Torn apart
Pay the lodging Don't speak
A little lobster stew Which way
A little basket of racing Stretched thin
Before you had a thousand francs
The boy turned into fifty francs
My father yan doesn't understand
Inflation, triple inflation?
We already knew it would be hot
But to arrive at zero bd
The price rounded much higher
You're in debt, not inflation!
Yesterday eh eh eh Woe oh oh
Can't see where it is oh oh
They went out and paid me oh oh
And there's nothing left oh oh
Try and try eh eh
Before you had a thousand francs
The bill turned into fifty francs
My father yan doesn't understand
Inflation, triple inflation?
You have children studying
Vacation arrives, you have to be solid
Give them a little check or cash
It's another season, for inflation
You count and tighten, Seeking how to hold on
You shout, 'but inflation is crushing you'
Two big bills for so little stuff and so few happy people
Saving money in Euros is a superhero's task
Everything has gone up, rounded to the highest
Even the corner store changed its promos
It's bigger than the Dollar, it's so many CFA francs
From Babylon to Paradise, so many Céfran chéfa
They talked about the ecu at the beginning, and we got the Euro
But the Euro or the ecu, either way, we have it in the... (beep)
Yesterday eh eh eh Woe oh oh
Awa awa people are shouting, awa awa trying to hold on
Awa awa people are suffocating me me me
