Welcome to today's SOTD! Yea I'm still alive, sorry I didn't upload anything the past two days. The day before yesterday, I wasn't in the mood for singing and yesterday, I went to the dentist so it goes without saying my MOUTH wasn't in the mood for singing after that.

For the non-Quebecois speakers out there, this song is about the son of a rich landowner who gets bored of his life and asks his father to start a war with the neighboring country. His father tries to tell him war isn't a game but his son doesn't listen so he starts the war. The son fights on the front-line and quickly discovers that war isn't, in fact, a game. He sees his childhood friends die one after the other and asks his father to stop the war. The latter replies that it's too late, the neighboring country doesn't want to stop the war and that now, his son needs to grow ball and see the war he started to its end. That night, the son committed suicide out of shame and when his father saw him the next morning, he said : "Get this corpse out of my sight, this isn't my son. Let him rot in the street, this shall be his last punishment. I gave him everything I had but it was never enough for him so he doesn't deserve Heaven; let him rot and go to Hell."

The song ends on a pretty interesting question. Who do you think was wrong, the son or the father?
