[English]
Everyone just wants the cash
And that's all it takes to excite them
Everyone just wants the fame
And that's all it takes to make them move
To shake their butts for the duration of a drink
A photo on Insta', it's a must
Otherwise, in the end, what's the point?
If it's not even to show off
And then what's the use?
You're so alone behind your screen
You think about what people will think
But you leave them all indifferent, oh, oh
Maybe I should step away
Far from the game, far from the danger
But I admit, I like to play
If it's about me that they'll talk
Where I forget everything and I leave
I just go for a walk
Naive as ever
Far from the bitter looks
What's the point?
You're so alone behind your screen
You think about what people will think
But you leave them all indifferent
And then what's the use?
You're so alone with your money
You don't even know why you're always
With gold diggers without feelings
Deep down, I admit that even I
Am part of those people
Reassured when people love me
And if it's very superficial
Everyone just wants the cash
And that's all it takes to excite them
Everyone just wants the fame
And that's all it takes to make them move
And then what's the use?
You're so alone behind your screen
You think about what people will think
But you leave them all indifferent
What's the point?
What's the point?
What's the point?
