I Got the Message Songtext
von Men Without Hats

I got the message and the message is clear
I really, really, really, really wish you were here
It was written on the back of a carton d′allumettes
It says I don't really miss you but I haven′t tried yet

I got the message and the message is proof
There really is a thing they call the rhythm of youth
It will pick you up and it will make you wiggle this way
Et c'est facile a dire and it's easy to say

Well, it′s mine
(They got this thing they call the rhythm of life)
Not yours
(It says to settle down and get a dog and a wife)

Get down
(And everybody′s doing it all over the land)
On all fours
(Et oui je ne comprends pas, oh yes, I don't understand)


It′s long
(I got the message and the message is clear)
And hard
(I really, really, really, really wish you were here)

This road
(It was written on the back of a carton d'allumettes)
To mars
(I don′t really miss you but I haven't tried yet)

Got a good thing, yeah, got you going
Everybody′s moving, watch out it's showing

I have done a good thing
I've got you dancing, everybody′s happy
I have done a good thing
I′ve got you moving, everybody's dancing
They′re really grooving
I have done a good thing don't dansez moderne, everybody′s happy

I got the message and the message is clear
I really, really, really, really wish you were here
It was written on the back of a carton d'allumettes
It says I don′t really miss you but I haven't tried yet


I got the message and the message is proof
There really is a thing they call the rhythm of youth
It will pick you up and it will make you wiggle this way
Et c'est facile a dire and it′s easy to say

C′est mon
(They got this thing they call the rhythm of life)
C'est toi
(It says to settle down and get a dog and a wife)

C′est nous
(And everybody? s doing it all over the land)
C'est cool
(Et oui je ne comprends pas, oh yes, I don? t understand)

C′est long
(I got the message and the message is clear)
C'est dur
(I really, really, really, really wish you were here)

Frappons
(It was written on the back of a carton d′allumettes)
Nos tetes contre les murs

Me, you, us cool, long, hard, hit our heads against the wall
(I don't really miss you but I haven't tried yet)
I got a good thing, yeah, got you going
Everybody′s moving, it′s really showing

I have done a good thing
I've got you dancing, everybody′s happy
I have done a good thing
I've got you moving, everybody′s dancing
It's really groovy, I have done a good thing
Don′t dansez moderne and everybody's happy

I got the message and the message is clear
I really, really, really, really wish you were here
It was written on the back of a carton d'allumettes
It says I don′t really miss you but I haven′t tried yet
