Letra Three longers later Stereolab

Three longers later

Papa, maman, mes frres et moi
coulions des jours
Tantot tranquilles, tantt agits
Dune vie familliale bien banale

Le facteur les jours de semaine
Glissait le courrier dans la boite
Ce matin l, mon pre fut blme
Mais quavait-il dans les mains?

Lenveloppe marron en-tte
De ladministration dtat
Avait pour horrible requte
De recruter des soldats.

On me convoque dans cette lettre
Pour aller rependre la paix
On me dit que tout larsenal
Est sorti cet effet.

Au nom de, lhumanit
nous supprimerons des milliers
De familles afin de
Les protger contre eux-mmes
Three longers later

Daddy, momma, my brothers and me
Living the days
Sometimes quiet
Sometimes excited
One common familys existence

The postman on weekdays
Placed the mail in the box
This morning- my father is red
But what does he have in his hands?

The brown envelope concieved
By the state administration
Had made for this horrible request:
To recruit sodiers

They told me that the letter was
To go out and bring peace
The told me all the weapons
Were going for that effect

In the name of the humanity
Well suppress thousands
Of families in order to
Protect them against themselves.
