Jazz Police

Leonard Cohen

Transposer:

Can you tell me why the bells are ringing? Nothing's happened in a million years I've been sitting here since Wednesday morning Wednesday morning can't believe my ears Jazz police are looking through my folders Jazz police are talking to my niece Jazz police have got their final orders Jazzer drop your axe it's Jazz police Jesus taken serious by many Jesus taken joyous by a few Jazz police are paid by J. Paul Getty Jazzers paid by J. Paul Getty II Jazz police I hear you calling Jazz police I feel so blue Jazz police I think I'm falling I'm falling for you Wild as any freedom loving racist I applaud the actions of the chief Tell me now oh beautiful and spacious Am I in trouble with the Jazz police? Jazz police are looking through my folders Jazz police are talking to my niece Jazz police have got their final orders Jazzer drop your axe it's Jazz police They will never understand our culture They'll never understand the Jazz police Jazz police are working for my mother Blood is thicker margarine than grease Let me be somebody I admire Let me be that muscle down the street Stick another turtle on the fire Guys like me are mad for turtle meat Jazz police I hear you calling Jazz police I feel so blue Jazz police I think I'm falling I'm falling for you Jazz police are looking through my folders Jazz police have got their final orders Jazz police are looking through my folders Jazz police have got their final orders

La chanson aborde des thèmes d'angoisse et d'absurdité, en évoquant une sorte de désespoir existentiel. Elle met en avant l'intervention fictive des "Jazz police", qui scrutent et jugent les actions de l'individu, comme si le simple fait d'être différent ou de créer était un délit. Il y a également une réflexion sur la perception de Jésus, vue à travers le prisme d'une société qui oscille entre le sérieux et la légèreté. Dans ce contexte, l’artiste semble naviguer dans une mer de confusion et de critique sociale, où les attentes extérieures et la pression de la conformité pèsent lourdement. Les références à la culture et à la famille ajoutent une dimension personnelle, suggérant que même des liens affectifs peuvent être remis en question par des normes imposées. C'est un mélange d'ironie et de profondeur qui questionne la place de l'individu dans le monde de la musique et au-delà.
