[English]

In the city of metal and sun

Angels and demons on the run

Empty boulevards shine like a gun

Swimming pools of people having fun

Walking like zombies in the night

Don't fear the apocalypse, 'cause we'll survive

Hand back shopping on Rodeau drive

Believing harmony will keep us alive

I just wanna forget

How fucked up is our planet

Laughing all the time

Driving in the sunshine

Pink convertible

Living in the free world

We're so fucking blind

Praying we'll be fine

We keep laughing all the time

Driving in the sunshine

Sorry to the flowers and the trees

And the fish poisoned in the seven seas

The private jet will cool on the ground

Forty pairs of Nikes, you're the man

Leave me alone with my luck and money

And I don't wanna know that it's a time bomb, honey

Let me enjoy my lack of trouble

Nothing's gonna burst my money bubble

We just wanna forget

How fucked up is our planet

Laughing all the time

Driving in the sunshine

Pink convertible

Living in the free world

We're so fucking blind

Praying we'll be fine

We keep laughing all the time

Driving in the sunshine

Let them eat cake and keep our engines running

Not even Mary Antoinette could see the end was coming

We party harder when there's no tomorrow

The time has come to help and now we're all falling like dominoes

Laughing all the time

Driving in the sunshine

Pink convertible

Living in the free world

We're so fucking blind

Praying we'll be fine

We keep laughing all the time

Driving in the sunshine
