Eric (LDJ HS) : (the photo) is taken from a report of the 50s
in a tribe where they never saw white people. The photo is a Papou
who bend to look curiously the camera. With a title like Dirty White 
Race, we could have taken a photo of a black being beaten by a white
cop, it's a slogan, but we find it's not as simple as this.
Christophe (LDJ HS) : Yes, we see here all the colonial images of the
good nigger amazed by the camera, as if occidental science was superior
and wonderful when compared to what these tribes lived.
Eric (LDJ HS) : And this goes well with the lyrics of the song, 
because I'm sure that if you come back today in this tribe, the rate 
of alcoholism is high, and people are walking with T-shirt style
Lacoste imitation, you know what I mean !




@I Need You 

I need you, all childhood friends of mine
I need you, against this trashy world
I need you, against this fatal time ...
Even if life parts us sometimes
I need you, we have to remember
I need you, life could be so brief
I need you, we have no time to waste
I need you, we must enjoy life
Even if it parts us sometimes
... I need you


@Lost in the Suburbs

It's been so long we wander in the suburbs
Trough the ring road and un previous diversions
All the people that we've asked on the road
Could never tell us the right information
	Look for the center of the town
	The place where it all stars
This crazy light that we can see far away
Runaway when we're just about reaching
There's only strange plans we're unable to make out
And dirty signs road we can't even read
Sometimes at last we touch the heart of the city
With neon lights and nice people on the pavement
Everything's so clean that we're feeling rubbish
And cops would like us to clear out of the place



@Dirty White Race 

Tell me how can you be so proud,
Proud of your dirty white race ?
Tell me how can you be so glad
With your silly white face ?
You killed the Indians,
Killed the Jews,
Destroyed and plundered round the world;
With niggers blood on your white hands,
Tell me how can you be so proud
Of what's behind Pope John Paul's dress,
And what's behind the Pin-up's smile :
These dirty things inside your mind.
Eric (LDJ HS) :
It's not the problem of racism, I deny it, but in addition,
I say that the white race hasn't materials to think that it is
superior to others, when seen what it has done in the past
hundred years through the  world, there is no reason to be proud !
Colonialism, plundering of the Third-world and so on. Moreover
fascists in general are ugly and nothing makes you willing to
be white and be proud of it 


@The Hedge Hogs

You gave all your life
And all what you had
Now the kids in the streets
They're laughing at you
       Cos' you're crawling on the ground
Now you've been parked
In an old people's home
A nice terminus
No change of scenery
       Between the highway and the graveyard
The rich wait for death in the villas you've built
Down at the seaside with your blood and tears
They say so often
You've got no more use
You feel ashamed
It's taking so long
       To leave your place on the planet
the end is coming
Everyday you feel it
But be sure you won't get
Any state funerals
       You're just a hedgehog, not an arm dealer

Christophe (LDJ HS) :
I think the way we treat older people is a scandal, it reveals
the whole system. When you're no more productive, if you have
money, you'll buy a house near the seaside for yourself, otherwise
you go to die in a home for old people surrounded by dead-alive persons.
