Rien dire (say nothing)

1 week ago by @ambroise

Liner Notes

The title in a play on words with “on ne peut plus rien dire” (“you can’t say anything anymore”) which is an overused phrase in the feminist backlash France experiences these days and “ça ne veut rien dire” (“it doesn't mean a thing”).

Not too happy with this one. Felt just right when I wrote it, sounds selfrighteous when I I hear it. Maybe it's just the voice that should be louder or the melody that could be more subtle... Anyway can't spend more time on it now.

Lyrics

On les a vu braqués féministes dans l’âme
Contres des lois barbares appliquées loin d’ici
Mais blêmes, au tribunal, avoir peur que les femmes
Fass’nt respecter les lois de leur propre pays
Ils veul’nt l’égalité d’après ce qu’ils proclament
Mais pens’nt que l’équité menace l’économie
Quant à la liberté ils pens’nt que c’est leur came
Mais jugent la valeur des filles à leurs habits

Maintenant ils prétendent qu’on ne peut plus rien dire
Mais ferment leurs oreilles à la dénonciation
Taisez ces injustices qu’ils ne sauraient ouïr
Sinon ils chialeront à la persécution

mais enfin, ça n’veut rien dire
mais enfin, ça n’veut rien dire

Lorsqu’ils sont exposés au moindre sentiments
Ils ont peur de déchoir de la domination
Comme s’il suffisait d’un doigt dans le fondement
Pour faire s’écrouler leur civilisation
Il pens’nt la liberté sans le consentement
Et confondent l’insulte avec la séduction
On les a cru favorables à l’avortement
Mais ils se sentent un faible pour les avortons

On les a vu juger en leur conscience et âme
Impossibles les viols commis par les maris
On les a vu bramer qu’ils adorent les femmes
et insulter chacun’ dès qu’ell’ donn’ son avis

mais enfin, ça n’veut rien dire
mais enfin, ça n’veut rien dire

Lorsque demain les femmes même hétérosexuelles
jouirons aussi souvent que les hommes, leurs amants
Ils hurleront à la menace culturelle
Et demand’ront des aides du gouvernement

mais enfin, ça n’veut rien dire
mais enfin, ça n’veut rien dire

We've seen them brazen - feminists at heart
Against barbaric laws applied far from here
But pale, in court, afraid that women
Would enforce the laws of their own country
They want equality according to what they proclaim
But fear equal pay would threaten the economy
As for freedom, they think it's their thing
But they judge a girl's worth by her clothes

Now they claim you can’t say anything anymore
But close their ears to denunciation
Shut up about the injustices they don't want to hear
Or they'll cry about persecution
but it doesn't mean a thing
but it doesn't mean a thing

When they're exposed to the slightest feeling
They're afraid of falling from domination
As if all it took was a finger in the (both translatable by foundation and ass)
To topple their civilization
They understand freedom without consent
And confuse insult with seduction
They were thought to be pro-abortion
But they feel a soft spot for runts

We've seen them judge in good conscience
rapes committed by husbands are Impossible
We've hear them swear that they adore women
and insult anyone who gives her opinion (I actually like this line better in english!)
but it doesn't mean a thing
but it doesn't mean a thing

When tomorrow, even heterosexual women
will meet orgasm as men, their lovers
They'll howl against that cultural threat
And demand government subsidies
but it doesn't mean a thing
but it doesn't mean a thing
