lyrics

How to find more breathable air?
Are we starting to suffocate in this world?

When I look all around me,
I sometimes wonder if
we are not too many here
Everyone does the same thing
all goes the same way
but no one talks to each other
Besides through a screen
Without meeting a glance

Why live all together if
we hate each other but we never try to make a change ?

Why go so far when you can't already see everything here?
What do you think you will find there?

If you only do what is asked
without asking what you really want this trick will never end

Maybe we are too many, to play at this game
Maybe it's time to look for, and find a new way
A place where there are as many games as players
A world where there would be no loser or winner

Perhaps the game master is too strong to be fight
Perhaps we are too dependant to make our rules
but if we try to have autonomy and rights
maybe he can be beaten, if we don't play his rules

In fact, no one's forcing you
You can stop to play

Maybe we are too many, to play at this game
Maybe it's time to look for, and find a new way
A place where there are as many games as players
A world where there would be no loser or winner
