Paris, July 2024

Again it’s time to set some cars on fire To smash some windows shouting out obsceneties With Paris riots on TV you can’t get tired Like trashy sequels of the Chaplin’s comedies The action breaks down into episodes and gags The crowd goes berserk with animation They look quite serious, young lions and old fags Rugged protesters, conscience of the nation But don’t be fooled, it’s just the way they live Traditional amusement, if you like With little compensation they forgive Until its time to start another strike It was dramatic, till the fireworks began Then water cannons jets endorse the celebration Its Paris riots, open up your beer can Sit back and watch the show of exaltation.
