Twenty years old in quarantine
In the country all the schools are closing
Which I've been dreaming of since I'm fourteen
But now I work it's so disappointing
Exactly the term that I've got an internship
The educational system just collapses
They try to save it with online courses
But they just burn everything to ashes
Next term of course when I return to school
Things will be back to normal I'm no fool
In the meantime I can say that I'm cool
And I can't say that this containment's cruel
I have the pleasure to discover
What they're calling teleworking
If only I can call this working
About three hours a day just pretending
Sending and receiving emails saying
"I do what I'm supposed to, not delaying"
Without really knowing what I'm supposed to do
And I get paid for that, could you believe it too?
Around me the world awaits
I prefer seizing the day to the fullest
Enjoying life all along with my roommates
Get me a beer, it's time to get reckless
Oh oh, oh oh, oh
It's the life of a contained boy
Oh oh, oh oh, oh
Not many stories to be told
The world is changing, society's burning
Yet, everything's still alright
Yeah everything is still alright
9am I'm calling my boss
Shit! I forgot my pants
God I hope we don't use the front camera
What a shame he would see me like that
I promise I try making efforts
My bad I just can't wake up early
This text could have started with "at the time of dawn"
But I have no idea what it means
Right, I may have a problem
Light, I don't see it so often
Blind, sunglasses inside
White, my skin's too bright
Find, new ways of having fun
Just so I don't die of boredom
Lime, in all my cocktails
I may open a bar in autumn
I can say that music helps me
Even though I can't find the right key
Believe me I prefer drumming like
I cannot know what will happen when it's over
Completely forgot what it is to be social
I've waited so long to meet my friends outside
When it comes don't tell the others I cried
Oh oh, oh oh, oh
It's the life of a contained boy
Oh oh, oh oh, oh
Not many stories to be told
The world is changing, society's burning
Yet, everything's still alright
Yeah everything is still alright
