They Did It

Aaaargh!

Aaaargh!

They did it. They elected the most intol­er­ant, ego­cen­tric, self­ish, use­less politi­cian. He is the new pres­i­dent. I’m def­i­nitely stay­ing in Canada.

France is cur­rently divided and stuck some­where in his­tory. This man rep­re­sents every­thing I despise : a mega­lo­ma­niac manip­u­la­tor who aims to a “clean France”. How is he going to make things bet­ter ? Oh yeah, by silenc­ing people…

Five very long years ahead…

Chère vieille Europe, cher vieux con­ti­nent, putain autori­taire, aris­to­crate et lib­er­taire, bour­geoise et ouvrière, pour­pre et pom­pon­née de grands siè­cles et colosses titubants. […]

Sale vieille Europe, celle qui entre deux guer­res et même encore pen­dant cares­sait pour son bien le ven­tre des pays de ses loin­tains ailleurs et la bite à la main arro­sait de son sperme les sexes autochtones.

On se relève de ça ? On se relève de tout même des chutes sans fond.
Nous avons su mon­ter nous avons su descen­dre, nous pou­vons arrêter et nous pou­vons reprendre…

Amnistie, amnistie ou alors amnésie, qu’est-ce que vous volez que ça foute, de toutes façons il faut bien avancer, pres­sons le pas cama­rade et puis réal­isons réal­isons, il en restera tou­jours quelque chose allez !

Matéri­al­iste alors ça fait qu’au moins on est sûr de n’pas de tromper, et du tan­gi­ble alors jusqu’à l’indigestion, du rationnel alors et jusqu’à en crever, des logiques implaca­bles mais tou­jours pas de sens…

Eh princesse de l’Histoire dans sa marche for­cée, on finit par se per­dre en pas­sant sous tes arches multiséculaires.

On est passé de tes arcanes passées, passé de tes arcanes passées, on est passé de tes arcanes passées, aux charmes technocrates…

Alors l’Europe alors l’Europe alors l’Europe.

Brux­elles, Schen­gen, Stas­bourg, Maas­tricht, PIB, PIB, CEE, Euratom, OCDE et GATT. Protégez-nous marché de cet AMI com­mun d’un monde si petit.

Euromon­naie unique, Nas­daq et CAC 40, orgiaque, idyllique, faites de la poésie, soutenez la cul­ture, pro­duisez du spec­ta­cle et de l’entertainment comme on dit chez nos frères d’Outre-Atlantique et toc anciens Européens, nou­veaux maîtres du monde pen­dant que le dragon asi­a­tique rêve, fait ses étire­ments, il est beau et puis­sant, crache du feu gentillement.

Pen­dant qu’Ernest Antoine Seil­lière fait son appari­tion et nous déclare sa flamme il nous aime et nous dit : ” Nous ne sommes pas comme les poli­tiques soumis à la pres­sion de la rue. ”

Et on entend au loin réson­ner les clameurs de la foule, les beaux mou­ve­ments d’ensemble, les défilés glo­rieux et puis la lutte des classes.

Et main­tenant c’est sérieux, eh bébé, c’est sérieux, on ne croit plus en rien, nous mon­tons de toutes pièces ce buis­ness et Basta, on chevauche pas Pégase ça c’était pour l’extase c’est fini.

Exten­sion, expan­sion si pos­si­ble, mais pas de rêve à porter seule­ment des dynamiques. D’abord la thune, bébé et le reste suivra et le reste vien­dra c’est ce qu’on dit je crois en cette époque là bénie des globophages.

Chère vieille Europe, ta tête con­naît à peine tes jambes qui sou­vent ne com­pren­nent pas tes bras com­ment ça marche encore déjà. Com­ment ça marche un corps étranger à son corps on n’sait pas on s’en fout on s’embrasse quand même et puis on a rai­son.
Sale vieille Europe, te souviens-tu de la force bru­tale, occi­dent mal luné, guerre brûlante, guerre froide, et enfin de guerre lasse et enfin de guerre lasse.

En veux-tu en voilà des écoles de la per­for­mance et voilà des patrons créa­teurs du Global buis­ness dia­logue ou Elec­tronic com­merce pour s’asseoir en glous­sant sur toutes les excep­tions à com­mencer par ce truc machin culturel.

His­toires de pro­duc­teurs et de con­som­ma­teurs, du pro­duc­teur au con­som­ma­teur, du pro­duc­teur au con­som­ma­teur, et des inter­mé­di­aires à plus savoir qu’en foutre, toute ton âme s’est usée sur ce chemin sans fin et sur ce va et vient on y va, nous aussi, prof­iter, pas de rai­son, après tout ça ira, on n’en aura pour tout le monde, y’en aura pour tout le monde, on a dit pour tout le monde, pour tout le monde, pour tout l’monde et mon cul !

Quelque chose est resté en tra­vers de la gorge et nous voulons cracher c’est la moin­dre des choses mais vous pou­vez, madame, vous adresser à nous car tout n’est pas perdu non tout n’est pas perdu de vos mythes d’aurore ici le soleil brille pour tous et on y croit.

    Oh dear…Sarkozy naked…

    *runs away to vomit*

    Yes, I’ve mended my ways; Sarkozy’s voice is no longer sexy.

    Can we keep it a secret, what I said about find­ing him slightly sexy? :-p

    1st part

    Wild boars are loose
    I repeat boars are loose.
    Small bosses make dia­mond rivers.
    Twice.
    Euro­pean roses are Satan’s feast.
    I repeat:European roses are Satan’s feast.

    We are cur­rently work­ing for Europe. x4 x4
    Even­tu­ally for the whole world.

    Dear Old Europe, dear old con­ti­nent, author­i­tar­ian pros­ti­tute,
    lib­er­tar­ian, aris­to­crat, posh and labour­ing–
    pur­ple and decked great stum­bling giants cen­turies.
    Look at your hunched shoul­ders , not to be dusted with a sin­gle gesture,old films, dead skins from yes­ter­day and tab­ula rasa …
    From here we could believe it’s some noble rot float­ing.
    in the air still floats the smell of sul­fur Dirty Old Europe
    the one which between two wars and even dur­ing them caressed for her own good dis­tant coun­tries’ bel­lies and more­over cock in hand watered with sperm natives gen­ders.
    Can we recover from this? We recover from every­thing, even bot­tom­less falls.
    we were able to rise, we were able to fall, we can stop this
    and we can resume …
    Europe of the lumières or from dark­ness, barely fire­flies in shadow the­aters.
    barely a spark in set­tling night and then pulls itself together ,
    and then the new dawn, after child­hood crimes
    youths’ mis­takes, we stop uproot­ing wings from golden dragonflies.

    We are cur­rently work­ing for Europe.
    Even­tu­ally the world.

    Amnesty, amnesty or amne­sia so, how can it mat­ter ,
    any­way we must move for­ward, urge your step fel­low
    and keep pro­duc­ing, pro­duc­ing , there will always be some left for every­one!
    Mate­ri­al­is­tic? so that makes us sure of being right at least
    from tan­gi­ble up to intox­i­ca­tion of the ratio­nal
    and up to dying from implaca­ble logic but still no sense …
    Hey Princess of his­tory in its forced march
    we end up los­ing our­selves walk­ing under your mul­ti­sec­u­lar arches .

    Even­tu­ally for the world.
    We are cur­rently work­ing for Europe.

    We went from your past arcane, past mys­ter­ies of your past
    we went from your past arcana, to tech­nocrats ‘charms …
    so Europe so Europe so Europe.
    Brux­elles, Schen­gen, Stas­bourg, Maas­tricht, PIB, PIB, CEE, Euratom, OCDE et GATT.
    Pro­tect us ‚mutual friend’s mar­ket of a world so small.
    Euromoney, Nas­daq and the CAC 40, orgias­tic, idyl­lic, make poetry,
    sup­port cul­ture , pro­duce shows and enter­tain­ment
    as our broth­ers across the Atlantic say, fake ancient Euro­peans,
    new mas­ters of the world whilst the Asian dragon dreams, makes its stretch­ing,
    it is beau­ti­ful and pow­er­ful, breaths fire gen­tly.
    Ernest Antoine Seil­liere appears and tells us his love
    He loves us and tells us:
    “We’re not such as pol­i­tics, sub­ject to pres­sure from the street.“
    And we hear in the dis­tance shouts from a crowd
    beau­ti­ful move­ments of the whole, glo­ri­ous and then classes’ trug­gle.
    And now it’s seri­ous, oh baby, it’s seri­ous, we no longer believe in any­thing,
    we assem­ble all the parts of a proven busi­ness and Basta, don’t over­lap Pega­sus
    this was for the ecstasy and it’s over.
    Exten­sion, expan­sion, if pos­si­ble, but no dream to wear only dynam­ics.
    First the cash, the baby and the rest will fol­low and the rest will come so they say
    I believe in these times, times blessed from ‘globophages’.
    Dear Old Europe, your head barely knows your legs which often
    do not under­stand your arms, how does a body work again?
    How does an out­side to one’s body work? we don’t know and don’t care
    we still kiss and we’re right
    Dirty old Europe, do you remem­ber the bru­tal force, bad west­ern mood,
    burn­ing war, cold war, and finally tired out and finally tired of war.
    We are cur­rently work­ing for Europe.

    you want some? here you are, per­for­mance schools and here come the bosses
    Global Busi­ness or elec­tronic trade cre­ators
    to sit cluck­ing all the excep­tions to begin
    with this ‘foo cul­tural thing’.
    Sto­ries of pro­duc­ers to con­sumers, busi­ness to con­sumer,
    from pro­ducer to con­sumer, and so many inter­me­di­ates not to know what to do of them,
    your whole soul was worn out on this end­less path and on this ‘comes and goes’, come, here we go!
    we too, take ben­e­fit, no rea­son, in the end it’ll be fine
    there’ll be some for every­one, everone
    we said every­one, for every­one, for the whole world, my ass!

    How high will you build your walls?
    Where are you going to push your new walls?
    Some­thing remained in our craw and we want to spit it out
    it’s the least we can do but you, madam,
    you may talk to us because not all may be lost
    from your myths dawn ‚the sun shines here for all and we believe in it.

    pox on you heads
    pox on your mouths.
    The saint’s sighs and the fairy’s cries aren’t heard any­more at the bankers’ ban­quet .
    Once.
    The hermit’s pot is filled with rubies.
    The hermit’s pot is filled with rubies.

    Old Europe is the madam of pink bal­lets.
    Twice.
    When the sirens are silent, birds of prey scream out loud.
    The red and black of tor­ture are the flow­ers of evil.
    red and black of tor­ture are the flow­ers of evil.

    The West­ern day is the East­ern night.
    Deux fois. Twice.
    The West­ern day is the East­ern night.

    I am not a chau­vin­ist but France is still the queen of cheese.
    Tryphon Tour­nesol is a Zouave.
    Six times.
    The blood­shed is the cup of tea of giants from the fair.
    Twice.
    It’s pour­ing rain on the Con­corde.
    Model lit­tle girls are the cho­sen of Europe.

    Damn secu­rity.
    Twice. Mega­lo­ma­nia kills mock­ing­birds.
    I repeat:
    If you can’t find any­thing any­more, seek some­thing else

    Peace in Switzer­land.
    Peace in Switzer­land.
    The wed­ding of blood burns the hori­zon.
    Deux fois. Twice.
    Europe ‘s mas­cara floods our chest.
    Twice.
    Life begins now, and now and now.

    Europe is a small mor­tal god­dess .
    Twice.
    The child­hood of art is a sunrise.

    We are cur­rently work­ing for Europe …
