He said : Hey man ! My skin is yellow skin! I said : Right Brother ! You're part of the human race He said : Hey man ! My skin is black skin !  I said : Right Brother ! You're part of the human race He said : Hey man ! my skin is white skin.  I said : Right Brother ! You're part of the human race He said : Hey man ! My country is in the north  I said : Right Brother ! My country is Earth Racism is madness  Even if I'm wrapped up in the night Racism is madness  My soul is white as the stone of the law Racism is madness  Even if I'm wrapped up in the day Racism is madness  My soul is black as the ink of the law Racism is madness  In this life nothing belongs to us Racism is madness  Most people prefer robots

Marceau 04:09
He's the last of a wealthy family But he chose another way Jewels n paintings have disappeared He sold his gold for wine In this old and empty house His bedroom is Noah’s ark He's a free man Free of chains He's your charity case Give him a drink He'll give you back a smile And a moment of freedom Everyone knows him here Spending his time sharing jokes Give him wine and whisky Mother nature'll give him the rest Nothing’s gonna stop him He has all the time Share a drink or two Or three or more He's a free and happy man Nobody will take that from him His name is Marceau He won't forget to give back Imagine happiness ? It's not where you would think ! But, where is happiness ? Does it come from within ! Imagine happiness ? It’s all around you ! But, where is happiness ? It’s in the words you say and the things you do !

When he was a child, he believed he’d change the world Believed that everything would be easy But these past years, taught him he was wrong 7th continent is born, ice caps have disappeared How can we stop this greed ? How can we stop this nastiness ? How can we stop this bleeding ? How can we stop this darkness ? It’s too late ! nobody can ! When he was a young boy, nature was wild and untaimed Nights were sweet and magical, our future was bright But in these past years, things have really changed Religion and war rules, babies drown in the sea

At the end of a secret garden A generous and sunny land A few seeds, a little skill Well scented flowers grow, It's almost time, little Marie-Jeanne A new harvest for colorful evenings Lying down in his smoky house    His brain restless  like a runaway prisoner  Lost in dreams he escapes  To the land of love  Rock'n'roll echoes in his head His actions are not without risk  He must remain discreet  But narrow minds and fools  have spotted this little paradise  And Now is the time to say goodbye  Goodbye little Marie Jeane Lying down in his prison cell,  His brain restless  No sign of a visitor Lost in dreams he escapes  To the land of love  Rock'n'roll  echoes in his head And he's flying away They won't steal his dreams And he's flying away Music lives in his daydreams And he's flying away With Crosby, Still, Nash and Young  And he's flying away With Paul John George and Ringo And he's flying away With Roger Pete John and Keith he'll fly away with rock'n'roll bands he'll fly away far away from the jail he'll fly away for a new Marie Janne Harvest

Electricity's in the air, Ready for the comin' of the night Sometimes expected, and sometimes feared, They're kings of anarchy Ripped jeans and punk hair, Sex Pistols on the radio Tonight anything can happen, The great thrill is right in front of you They don't have no limits With sex drugs and rock'n'roll They don't have any limits Till the end of the night One night with Gabbies Let yourself go And don't be afraid ! One night with Gabbies Sure you won't ever forget it ! Electricity's in the air, Ready for the comin' of the night Sometimes expected, and sometimes feared, They're kings of anarchy Ripped jeans and punk hair, Sex Pistols on the radio Tonight anything can happen, The great thrill is right in front of you
