lyrics

Vitesse (Words & Music by Paul Cargnello) said it’s a crime to try to live said it’s a crime to roam the streets with your patches and your pins your Mohawks and your dreads said you don’t own a thread just look into the background not everyones a winner what could you stand to lose your money or your mind they’re forcing you to choose on a besoin de vitesse on a besoin d’anarchie et encore… et ensuite… it’s revolution and it’s love that keeps your feet moving and blood flowing through your chest you got your heart on your sleeve a red star pinned to your chest take the tongue into the streets riding a bike down on the beat the rich they own the cops who think they own the streets who do they expect to meet Notre amour évolue Notre amour boule de neige Notre amour fait des petits Le courant circule La révolution maintenant on a besoin de vitesse on a besoin d’anarchie et encore… et ensuite… le vraie bordel le vraie punk rock le vraie bohemia quand la vie devien plat
