Nostalgic Du Cool
M (Mathieu Chedid) · Le Tour De M [2001]
ni virtuel, ni imbécile
je sais bien ce n'est plus de mon âge
comme tu vois j'ai l'instinct fragile
à penser à tout ça
j'ai une larme qui coule
c'est l'instant qui veut ça
nostalgic du cool
automat traumatisé
je m'détraque, trop attisé
je me lève à l'eau glaciale
je déteste ce confort social
on grandit bien trop vite
sur cette palnète plastic
refrain (x2)
aujourd'hui je saisis ma chance
tu dois retrouver ton enfance
je m'enivre à la limonade
autour de cette foule
je plains tous ces malades
nostalgic du cool
refrain (x2)
mais ou et donc or ni car
refrain
j'y cours tout de suite !
