Mononc’ Serge et Anonymus, «Shitty accent», Métal canadien-français, 2024
The place
I was raised
Was called
Sainte-Thérèse
A shithole
Where people
Have a goddam horrible shitty accent
When you come from there
It’s inevitable
Your accent his just horrible
And that’s why
The minute I open my mouth
Everybody finds how I got
A shitty accent
Real shitty accent
I wanna sing like Sting
But I sound like shit
’Cause my accent is shitty
Everything but pretty
I will never be famous
I’m so ridiculous
With my accent
Awful ugly shitty accent
I wanna be on every TV screen
On the cover of every magazine
I wanna win all the Grammys
And kiss all the groupies
I wanna tour in America
Like Aerosmith and Metallica
But I will never do so
Because as you know
I got a shitty accent
Real shitty accent
I wanna kill my parents
For giving me that accent
That accent of mine
Which is eveything but fine
I’m not glad
I’m so sad
I think I’m turning mad
’Cause my accent
This shitty cheesy ugly
It is such a shame
I think I’m gonna cut my veins
’Cause of that accent
