Hard enough to be yourself 
Too much work to be somebody else 
It's too much work and a lot of make up my dear 
For that angry man standing on the pier 

Don't you think it's hard enough 
To be yourself 
Too much work to be somebody else 
----- ----- ----- - ----- 
----- ------- -- ---- 

Hard enough not to be anybody 
To slay the beast, to kill the fear 
For that man in his fifties 
Staring at the sea 
That angry man standing on the pier 

Don't you think it's hard enough 
To be yourself 
Too much work to be somebody else 
Vire cette pierre de ton coeur 
Elle fait plus le poids 
Faut parfois sortir de soi 
...just an angry man standing on the pier
