CE QUI M'EFFRAIE,
CE N'EST PAS L'OPPRESSION
DES MÉCHANTS;
C'EST L'INDIFFÉRENCE
DES BONS.

MOI, CE QUI M'EFFRAIE,
 MARTIN,
CE N'EST PAS L'OPPRESSION
DES HOMMES;
C'EST L'INDIFFÉRENCE
DES FEMMES.


WAR

Until the philosophy, 
Which holds one race superior 
And another inferior, 
Is finally and permanently 
Discredited and abandoned, 
Everywhere is war. 
 
Until there is no longer first class 
Or second class citizens of any nation. 
Until the color of a man's skin, 
Is of no more significance then 
The color of his eyes, 
I've got to say "war". 
 
That until the basic human rights, 
Are equally guaranteed to all, 
Without regard to race, 
I'll say "war" 
 
Until that day the dream of lasting peace, 
Worldcitizenship and the rule of 
International morality will remain 
Just a fleeting illusion to be pursued,
But never obtained.
And everywhere is war. 
 
Until the ignoble and unhappy regime 
Which holds all of us through, 
Childabuse, yeah, childabuse yeah, 
Subhuman bondage has been toppled, 
Utterly destroyed, 
Everywhere is war. 
 
War in the east, 
War in the west, 
War up north, 
War down south, 
There is war, 
And the rumors of war. 
 
Until that day, 
There is no continent, 
Which will know peace. 
 
Children, children. 
 
Fight! 
 
We find it necessary. 
We know we will win. 
We have confidence in the victory 
Of good over evil 
Of good over evil 
Of good over evil 
 
Fight!

Red football :
à écouter sans faute sur MusicMe !

RED FOOTBALL

I'm not no red football
To be kicked around the garden
No no I'm a red christmas-tree ball
And I'm fragile
I'm not no animal
Though I am to you
I'm not no crocodile
Like the one in Dublin Zoo
Who lived in a cage
the length and breadth of his body
When a window which people would look through
And throw coins on his back to taunt him
'though he couldn't move
Even if he wanted to
I'm not no animal in the zoo
I'm not no whipping boy for you
You may not treat me like you do
I'm not no animal in the zoo
My skin is not a football for you
My head is not a football for you
My body's not a football for you
My womb is not a football for you
My heart is not a football for you
I'm not no animal in the zoo
This animal will jump up and eat you
I'm not no animal in the zoo
And I've every intention
Of leaping up and getting you
