Petit élève - La pédagogie, y a que ça de vrai versuri traducere în engleză

Nothing beats pedagogy

Before, I used to smoke. But on the packs
you could see people dying from cancer
and poisoning little kids too.
That's how I realized it was time to act.
 
And now life is great. No more dog breath,
my fingers are all pink again and my lungs all white,
and when I'm a bit stressed I can still chew my nails.
Thank goodness, I finally got it.
 
Before, I used to drink. But I saw an ad on TV
where they said drinking makes you kill people when you're driving
and won't help you score with chicks either.
That's how I realized it was time to act.
 
And now life is great. No more bouts of delirium
or stomach burns. I'm still a bit doddery but that's ok.
I even stopped beating up the wife and kids.
Thank goodness, I finally got it.
 
Before, I was a polluter. But I got wind of
these trash bins: yellow for plastic, blue for paper.
Not sure about the blue ones though, we don't have these around here.
That's how I realized it was time to act.
 
And now life is great. No more fear of global warming,
and as a reward for saving the planet
I treated myself to a trip to the West Indies.
Thank goodness, I finally got it.
 
Before, I was unemployed. But Mr. President explained to me
that lazybones and idlers only got what they deserved
and I only had to pull my finger out to fix the problem.
That's how I realized it was time to act.
 
And now life is great. No more embarrassment in front of my friends,
I'm nearly done repaying the moped's loan, and I can proudly declare
that I risk my life delivering pastries to old farts for a living.
Thank goodness, I finally got it.
 
Before, I was a Lefty. But on the forums they told me
about the 20.000.000 dead of communism
and all the nasty things going on in North Korea.
That's how I realized it was time to act.
 
And now life is great. I no longer give a rat's ass about the poor
and when I'm the one in need of money
I put my basin out and wait for wealth to trickle down.
Thank goodness, I finally got it.
 
Nah, just kidding. I never quit smoking nor drinking.
I'd rather eat bricks than become a lackey on a moped,
I don't give a damn about waste-sorting and I'm still a Lefty.
That's the problem in this country: some people just don't want to understand.
 
This translation does not claim to be of any particular value.
Glad if you liked it, sorry if you didn't.
You can reuse it as you please.
Glad if it's for knowledge or understanding, sorry if it's just for money or fame.
