LYRICS

Mon père, maman, mes frères et moi
écoulions des jours
tantot tranquilles, tantôt agités
d'une vie familliale bien banale
le facteur les jours de semaine
glissait le courrier dans la boite
ce matin là, mon père fut blême
mais qu'avait-il dans les mains?

l'enveloppe marron à en-tête
de l'administration d'état
avait pour horrible requête
de recruter des soldats.

on me convoque dans cette lettre
pour aller rependre la paix
on me dit que tout l'arsenal
est sorti à cet effet.

au nom de, l'humanité
nous supprimerons des milliers
de familles afin de
les protéger contre eux-mêmes
