La chanson évoque la difficulté que rencontrent les travailleurs pour joindre les deux bouts. Elle s'adresse au président, lui demandant de comprendre et de faire preuve de compassion pour ceux qui peinent à s'en sortir, sans exiger d'amour, mais juste un peu d'empathie. Les paroles mettent en lumière les défis économiques que subissent les gens ordinaires, tout en soulignant la solitude et le désespoir qui en découlent. Écrite dans un contexte de désillusion face aux promesses politiques, cette œuvre reflète les luttes des classes laborieuses des années 70, un moment où les inégalités sociales commençaient à être de plus en plus visibles. Le chant résonne comme un appel à la solidarité et à une prise de conscience des réalités du monde du travail.
