The Bobos
We call them bourgeois bohemians
Or bobos for close friends
In the songs of Vincent Delerm
We find them in every rhyme
They are a new class
After the bourgeois and the proles
Not far from the rednecks, although classier
I'll give you a picture of them
They're a bit artistic, that's something in itself
But their passion is their job
In IT, the media
Are proud to pay a lot of taxes
The bobos, the bobos
The bobos, the bobos
They live in nice neighborhoods
or in the suburbs but in a loft
Trendy artist workshops,
Much more trendy than avenue Foch
have well-behaved children,
who read the Little Prince at 6 years old
Who go to private schools
Deprived of scum, I understand
they smoke a joint from time to time ,
do their shopping in organic markets
Drive 4x4, but more often,
prefer to travel by bike
The bobos, the bobos
The bobos, the bobos
They read Houellebecq or Philippe Djian, the Inrocks and Télérama,
Their bedside book is surand
Near the Ikea catalog.
They like Japanese restaurants and Korean cinema
spend their holidays at Cap Ferret
The French Riviera, frankly it sucks
They mainly watch ARTE
Canal plus , it's for the badgers
Except for PSG matches
and from time to time a little porn
The bobos, the bobos
The bobos, the bobos
They listen on their hi-fi system
France-info all day
Alain Bashung Françoise Hardy
And obviously Gérard Manset
They love Desproges without even knowing
that Desproges hated them
Bedos and Jean Marie Bigard,
even if they are ashamed to admit it
They like Jack Lang and Sarkozy
But always vote Ecolo
They love the Mayor of Paris,
Ardisson and his friend Marco
The bobos, the bobos
The bobos, the bobos
The woman wears clothes at Diesel
And the man has prices at Kenzo
For their always perfect cashmere
Zadig & Voltaire I say bravo
They frequent museums,
art galleries, old bistros a lot
drink iced manzana while listening to Manu chao
My writing is a bit murderous
For these people I don't really like
in some ways, I imagine... < br/>That I'm also part of the lot
The bobos, the bobos
The bobos, the bobos
