In the song "Tous Les Mêmes" by Stromae, the artist critiques the behavior of men, calling them "macho but cheap" and "infidel mauviettes". He questions whether they deserve the love they receive, and suggests that they are not aware of what they are losing. He also criticizes the idea that beauty is the only thing that matters, and that men are only present when it is convenient for them. The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "Tous Les Mêmes" to emphasize the idea that men are all the same.

You men are all the same
Macho but cheap
Bunch of unfaithful wimps
So predictable
No I'm not certain
That you deserve me
You're lucky that we love you
Tell me 'Thanks'
Chorus 1
See you, see you
See you at the next argument
See you, see you
See you surely at the next period
Verse 2
This time was the last
You can believe that it's just a crisis
Take a last look at my behind
It is next to my suitcases
You'll say goodbye to your mother
She who idealizes you
You don't even see everything that you lose
With another it would be worse
What, you also want to finish now?
It's the world upside down
I said it to make you react only
You were thinking about it
Chorus 2
See you, see you
See you at the next argument
See you, see you
See you surely at the next period
Verse 3
Easy to say, I'm emotional
And that I love too much blah-blah-blah
But no no no, it's important
What you call the menstruation
You know life is for children
But as always it's not the right time
Ah yes to make them, there, you are present
But to raise them there will be absentees
Verse 4
When I'm no longer beautiful
Or at least natural
Stop I know that you lie
Only Kate Moss is eternal
Ugly or stupid, it's never good!
Stupid or beautiful, it's never good!
Beauty or me, it's never good!
Me or her, it's never good!
Chorus 3
See you, see you, see you at the next argument
See you, see you, see you surely at the next period
All the same, all the same
All the same and we're fed up
All the same, all the same
All the same and we're fed up
