Grand Jacques

C'est trop facile d'entrer aux églises
De déverser toutes sa saleté
Face au curé qui dans la lumière grise
Ferme les yeux pour mieux nous pardonner
Tais-toi donc Grand Jacques
Que connais-tu du Bon Dieu
Un cantique une image
Tu n'en connais rien de mieux
C'est trop facile quand les guerres sont finies
D'aller gueuler que c'était la dernière
Ami bourgeois vous me faites envie
Vous ne voyez donc point vos cimetières
Tais-toi donc Grand Jacques
Laisse-les donc crier
Laisse-les pleurer de joie
Toi qui ne fus même pas soldat
C'est trop facile quand un amour se meurt
Qu'il craque en deux parce qu'on l'a trop plié
D'aller pleurer comme les hommes pleurent
Comme si l'amour durait l'éternité
Tais-toi donc Grand Jacques
Que connais-tu de l'amour
Des yeux bleus des cheveux fous
Tu n'en connais rien du tout
Et dis-toi donc Grand Jacques
Dis-le-toi bien souvent
C'est trop facile (x 3)
De faire semblant
