Sorry for the grammatics and vocabulary mistakes that can be in it, it's really hard for me to translate from french to english. ----------LYRICS---------- Little brother has one wish: growing up That's why he became wild at the age of 10 Becoming an adult with the TV News as mentor Means breaking faces of the ones who don't agree with you At the time when big brother was a child We had fun with Snow-White and the seven dwarfs But now the dwarfs have kicked and beaten up the Snow-White And are bursting and fighting people in Mortal Kombat At the age of 13 he began to love money But the pockets are empty, so he acts as a pimp In the parties which are now all nights long, no more syrup Little brother want beers I don't think it was deliberate, but sure, the adults Have indirectly shown him that acting evil is good Tomorrow his notebooks will be full of deletions Little brother smokes joints and breaks cars Little brother deserted playgrounds He just learned how to walk but he already wants the Seven Mile Boots Little brother wants to grow up too fast But he forgot that "Slow and steady wins the race", little brother Little brother dreams about car, clothes and money He wants the reputation of a bad boy and for that he could steal the moon He makes collection of misdemeanours without wondering about the pain he causes And asks for respect in the same time He doesn't care about tomorrow Giving people reasons to despise him In his head the light of a CRT Makes the vibration of African drums disappear He doesn't have a school bag any more; anyway he wouldn't know what to do with it He doesn't play marbles any more, he prefers playing with guns He trashed his little soldiers to become a warrior And thinks about the money he'll earn Little brother deserted playgrounds He just learned how to walk but he already wants the Seven Mile Boots Little brothers wants to grow up too fast But he forgot that "Slow and steady wins the race", little brother Journalists create fashion; Violence at school existed before When I was young there were rackets, punch-ups and damages The teachers' windshields were being broken with a baseball bat And they were getting muddled with a cutter But speaking about it every night in the TV news makes it become banal In retina it already became a normal situation And if little brother wants an ephemeral glory He just has to repeat what he saw in the news before 8:30 p.m. Shit, in the eighties it was facts But now these journalists made normality out of it And I don't think that little brother is worse than before Just overexposed to the advertisement and the violence For the old, the young are the best lemon The target number one for consumption And to be sure that he provides Little brother has an insurance: a gun behind the belt People know who you are when they see your possessions Little brother keeps this fact in mind Money will open the door of heaven for him As easily as his screwdriver opens the door of cars Major standing is all what he wants And looks better in a Giorgio Armani He wonders how people see him In spite of his young age, little brother smokes to appear older He wanted to drive the "fortune express way" And didn't realise that he can leave feathers He's just out of his egg And little brother wants to be bigger than a bull Little brother deserted playgrounds He just learned how to walk but he already wants the Seven Mile Boots Little brothers wants to grow up too fast But he forgot that "Slow and steady wins the race", little brother Plus
