Lyrics

Bilingual
I was someone who put a lot of faith
In what I saw and what I heard
There were persons who said they were my friends
And I took them at their word
But I was fooled and I was tricked
And these friends were handpicked
So what can you do? What can you say?
Only thing to do is be blasé
No one's happy in the modern world
Jean-Paul Sartre told us that
Despite the loads of rhetoric
He was talking through his hat
But there's an exit, there's a throughway
Here's the word, it's be blasé
Be blasé, be blasé
Riding on the streetcar, ongoing there I saw
Someone pat me on the head, someone who I thought was dead
Be blasé, he said it's time to go to bed
Be blasé, be blasé
Now this is what I said
Be blasé, be blasé
You were thirty when I was three
What the hell do you want with me?
The only way to spare yourself
The angst of the modern world
A look of nonchalance, sunglasses de rigueur
Evasive policy
Be blasé, be blasé
Be blasé, be blasé
Be blasé, be blasé
Be blasé, be blasé
Be blasé, be blasé
Be blasé!
