Histoire de Rien

.

J’ai mange mon 4 heure

Sur le coin du frigo

Il m’restait des p’tits beurres

Et deux ou trois megots

J’ai pris les allumettes

Pour jouer avec le feu

Mais quand j’ai vu ma tete

J’ai du fermer les yeux

.

(Chorus)

Et puis apres ?

Ben apres rien

Et puis apres ?

Ben apres rien

.

Allumer la tele

J’y ai pense aussi

Y’avait qu’a appuyer

Sur le gros bouton gris

J’ai lave mon maillot

J’ai maquille mes yeux

C’est pas des vrais sanglots

Mais j’ai pleure un peu

.

(Chorus)

.

Avoir envie c’est quoi ?

C’est sentir a chaque heure

Que t’es parti sans moi

En m’laissant les p’tits beurres
