lyrics

Couplet 1 (L'1consolable):

Où va-t-on?
Bien que nous n'en sachions rien on se le demande depuis Platon,
depuis la sombre caverne où ceux qui nous gouvernent nous bernent,
nous perdent; où mènent les vies ternes que nous avons,
les vies de merde que nous savons liées à l'illusion, à l'ombre de nous-mêmes que nous regardons?
Est-ce bien à nous de demander pardon
pour le paradis perdu, dont ils nous parlent, dont nous partons
à mesure que nous tardons à faire les choses et gardons
l'habitude d'abdiquer, à se piquer entre ronces et chardons?
Tout dépend sur quelle pente et dans quel sens nous allons!
Avons-nous besoin que les vacances se passent devant la télé dans le salon?
Ma vie se réduit-elle à mon taf, à ce qu'on me dit en amont
pour que je sois acquis à l'idée que ça doit me guider? Faire sans ça? Non!
Que je sois privé de tout plan d'action, bridé par l'implantation
inopinée dans ma conscience du sens de la consommation,
est-ce là la consolation pour tant de désolation
d'isolation, de sommations à acheter à chaque occasion?!

Refrain:

Where do we come from? Where's home? Where do we go?
What is the outcome? Let's explore what little we know!
What are we made for? These things that we slave for
just to pay more in stores so we can flatter our ego?

Where do we go to? A whole new world, or the old world,
prove where can I find the truth? Who do i go to?
Where do we come from? Where do we go? Do we care?
Do these lives take us anywhere?

Couplet 2 (K.Wiz):

I'm looking for positivity possibly in responsibilities stopping me
from constantly watching the economy dropping, see
all that I see is society craving pretty words
from bad tongues darker than a cancerous black lung,
huh, the media seem to think we eat what they're feeding us,
it don't take a genius to know that they're deceiving us,
huh, whatever happened to happy endings and good guy won
now there's always a plot twist and the good die young!
Damn! The good die young: my sister was 17 when she lost her son,
never could imagine the pain she had,
only a few years later her man would pass,
and it's so sad that we look for the worst in a person,
we're searching and searching, not finding the worth in a person
so we turn to the churches,
the more I write makes me nervous
cause I dig deep as I scribble these verses!

Refrain:

Where do we come from? Where's home? Where do we go?
What is the outcome? Let's explore what little we know!
What are we made for? These things that we slave for
just to pay more in stores so we can flatter our ego?

Where do we go to? A whole new world, or the old world,
prove where can I find the truth? Who do i go to?
Where do we come from? Where do we go? Do we care?
Do these lives take us anywhere?

Couplet 3 (L'1consolable / K.Wiz)

Tell me this: what is the meaning of life?
If I embezzle from the rich to feed the poor, does that mean stealing is right?
My feelings are like I'm peeking through a beaming of light
but it seems that the glare is so bright it's piercing my sight!
Is the bark better than bite? Do I write to please the masses?
My actions I keep them captive they build up like lactic acids,
man this world has got me flaccid, I'm asking but still no answers,
banging at this how the government factors trap us a bunch of actors!

Les acteurs, oui mais de quoi? A l'heure qu'il est je vois
nos vies défiler sous nos yeux comme si l'on vivait deux fois,
des vies où téléguidés l'on est bridés privés de choix,
où ils nous vident de nos envies, où on se sent vite privés de soi
à force de trimer, de s'agripper à ce qu'ils mettent eux là
pour nous voir déprimés de voir de nos désirs primer ceux-là,
sommés de consommer pour se consoler de ce qu'on omet
des questions qu'on devrait oser se poser avant de se tirer de là!

Refrain:

Where do we come from? Where's home? Where do we go?
What is the outcome? Let's explore what little we know!
What are we made for? These things that we slave for
just to pay more in stores so we can flatter our ego?

Where do we go to? A whole new world, or the old world,
prove where can I find the truth? Who do i go to?
Where do we come from? Where do we go? Do we care?
Do these lives take us anywhere?

Where do we come from? Where's home? Where do we go?
What is the outcome? Let's explore what little we know!
What are we made for? These things that we slave for
just to pay more in stores so we can flatter our ego?

Where do we go to? A whole new world, or the old world,
prove where can I find the truth? Who do i go to?
Where do we come from? Where do we go? Do we care?
Do these lives take us anywhere?
