Les lyrics :
I wake up at 6:30, alarm bells ringin'
Not enough sleep, gotta keep the grind swingin'
A Senseo and toast with margarine spread
Magalie won't allow butter, it's too much fat to dread
Hop in my Scenic, off to work I go
But bumper-to-bumper, the traffic moves too slow
Arrive at 8:30, 30 minutes behind
Co-workers judge, lost time, unpaid grind
This is the French dream, no time to scheme
A job we hate, just to make ends meet it seems
We eat cold pizza and dream of vacation
While stuck in a daily routine, a hopeless situation
Back to the grind, work in front of the screen
The clock ticks slowly, it's a dreary scene
Lunchtime comes, cold pizza again
Saving 5 euros for the next vacation win
Back to work early, don't want to be last
But with the morning tardiness, it's a thing of the past
Work 'til 6, traffic's a mess
Get home at 7:30, kids to bless
This is the French dream, no time to scheme
A job we hate, just to make ends meet it seems
We eat cold pizza and dream of vacation
While stuck in a daily routine, a hopeless situation
At home, dinner's frozen pizza with my wife
Magalie, my love, who's gained weight in life
We watch TV, but only during ads
Magalie loves Hanouna, she laughs and is glad
I wanted to watch my favorite movie instead
But Magalie wants "This is us", the show to be fed
I put away my thoughts, tonight I'll get laid
But she only wants to cuddle, my plans to fade
This is the French dream, no time to scheme
A job we hate, just to make ends meet it seems
We eat cold pizza and dream of vacation
While stuck in a daily routine, a hopeless situation
Magalie is snoring, I'm left with the TV
Thinking about my life, it's not where I want to be
I'll try to sleep, but it won't come easy
As every night, Morphée doesn't want to please me
The alarm rings, it's 6:30, I start again
Another day of the French dream, just to maintain
But it wasn't always this way, I remember when
Magalie wasn't a nag, and love was our zen
This is the French dream, no time to scheme
A job we hate, just to make ends meet it seems
We eat cold pizza and dream of vacation
While stuck in a daily routine, a hopeless situation
So, there you have it, the French dream
A grind that never ends, or so it seems
But maybe, just maybe, we can change our fate
And make our lives something more than just a daily grind to hate.
