Stromae - Carmen (English Translation) lyrics

[Verse 1]
Love is like the Twitter bird
You’re blue for him, only for 48 hours
First we meet, then we follow each other
We fall apart, and we end up solo
(You'd best beware!)
And to all those who like your posts
Plastic smiles cut like swings of the axe-tag
(You’d best beware!)
Oh Twitter friends and followers
You've got it wrong, you’re just popular

[Pre-Chorus]
You'd best beware!
If you love yourself
I'd best beware!
If I love myself
We’d best beware, they'd best beware
You'd best beware
And then every man for himself

[Chorus]
And that's how we love, love, love, love
How we consume, -sume, -sume, -sume
And that's how we love, love, love, love
How we consume, -sume, -sume, -sume
And that's how we love, love, love, love
How we consume, -sume, -sume, -sume
And that's how we love, love, love, love
How we consume, -sume, -sume, -sume
[Verse 2]
Love is the child of consumerism
Always always always hungry for choice
Do you want feelings fallen off the back of a truck?
Supply and demand is the one, single law
(You'd best beware!)
“But I already know the dangers
I've kept my receipt and if need be, I'll return it”
(You'd best beware!)
“And if need be, I would get my revenge
I would put this bird of misfortune in a cage
And make it sing for me”

[Pre-Chorus]
You'd best beware!
If you love yourself
I'd best beware!
If I love myself
We'd best beware, they'd best beware
You'd best beware
And then every man for himself

[Chorus]
And that's how we love, love, love, love
How we consume, -sume, -sume, -sume
And that's how we love, love, love, love
How we consume, -sume, -sume, -sume
And that's how we love, love, love, love
How we consume, -sume, -sume, -sume
And that's how we love, love, love, love
How we consume, -sume, -sume, -sume
[Outro]
One day you buy, one day you love
One day you throw it away, one day you pay
One day you will see, we will love each other
But before that, we will all perish like rats
