Discover the story of the song > L’Amérique pleure – Les Cowboys Fringants

The protagonist wakes up early after only four hours of sleep and takes a couple of puffs of his cigarette. He has a job to do and drinks some coffee to give himself a boost. He drives his truck from one place to another and sees all the inequality, suffering, and lack of love in America. He wonders how people can still believe in life while living in this hypocrisy, and he questions why he works so much and is separated from his loved ones.
