Every 8 seconds
A child dies in the third world
Because there is no access to water
And they say that in his hot country
It's the sun that dries up the streams
When we know that a very small fraction
Of all these stupid military budgets
Could water humans
Guarantee them a tomorrow
But the West is still washing its hands of it
While every 8 seconds
Foul profits are being generated
Among the large multinationals
Who believe that the fundamental right
Access to water must become commercial
Today the source is listed on the stock exchange
And we care ¢Lice good resource
We are told that it is inexhaustible
No need for viable management
There is a sign of a piastre at the end of the drinking water
While the rivers flow freely
Some people make money like water
Without worrying about the ecosystems
It's pretty boring say but it seems
That this is the crux of the problem!
Every 8 seconds
A new cancer that is eating away at us
Water which becomes merchandise
Aqueducts that are privatized
And complicit governments that improvise
In Montreal in the underground
They pump the water that belongs to us
Pay peanuts for the products
And since they have a monopoly
Make more profits than the oil companies
Every 8 seconds
I feel a little more shame
Faced with this overexploitation
And this sad destruction
Of nature for consumption
We are presented with faits accomplis
They are playing the Earth at Monopoly
And when they have taken over
The clouds, the birds, the glaciers
Maybe there will be enough of them
While the rivers flow in waves
Some people make money like water
Without worrying about ecosystems
It's a bit boring to say but it seems
That's the crux of the problem!
When there are only 8 seconds left
Before the end of this world
We will think about the human race
br/>Who, because of the lure of winning
Will have brought the planet to the edge of the ravine
When there are only 8 seconds left...
Every 8 seconds
br/>A little more anger rising
When I see my great country of water
being sacked by bastards
Who don't care about life sitting in their office tower
In this Quebec of forests and blue gold
These riches must become issues
Let's kick the butts of decision-makers
And let's become precursors
Citizens! The future begins now!
