Hélène Segara - Vivre lyrics

You've got a close eye on the world outside

From the inside of your cage

You're staring through the cracks in the drapes for a key

With a midget on your back goin blind and mean

How much could you ask for

How much would you ask for

Something of use will come

Of these worn out shoes

Something of use will come

Of these painful dues

The bastard's wearing the dresses now

He bitches no one calls him by his name

My baby she's got the blues

Another rapist grows into his running shoes

How much could you ask for

How much would you ask for

Dear god can't you just leave me alone

Said the martyr to the thief

There's not enough room in this reflection for two

And now one of us is gonna have to leave in peace

Someday something of use will come

Of these dried up tears

Something of use will come

Of the blood and the blues if we waste another year

It's always someday

You lift yourself from the gutter to the grave

They'll fax you your last rights

Well maybe I said everything is all right

Well they're just not unbearable

Yet how much would you

Ask for how much could you ask for

Someday something of use will come

Of these lives that we choose

Someday something of use will come

Of the blood and the blues of this wasted youth

Something of use will come.
