[MALE CHORUS]
|
Vive la Commune De Paris
|
For the love of God
|
IN the name of freedom
|
For the crippled and the poor
|
|
[RINGMASTER]
|
The bells ring out the tambourine beats
|
The rise and fall of voices
|
The sound of marching feet
|
Signals the demise of the Capet dynasty
|
|
[TROUBLEMAKER]
|
It's not whether now but when
|
The King and Queen have only men
|
From Switzerland to defend the Tuileries
|
Remorseless as a rising tide
|
The san culottes prepare to die
|
Vive la Commune de Paris
|
|
[CHORUS]
|
Vive la Commune de Paris
|
Vive la Commune de Paris
|
Vive la Commune de Paris
|
Vive la Commune de Paris
|
Vive la Commune de Paris
|
Vive la Commune de Paris
|
Vive la Commune de Paris
|
Vive la Commune de Paris
|
Vive la Commune de Paris
|
|
[REVOLUTIONARY PRIEST]
|
Vive la Commune de Paris in God's name
|
|
[CHORUS]
|
In God's name
|
|
[REVOLUTIONARY PRIEST]
|
Vive la Commune de Paris
|
For the
|
|
[REVOLUTIONARY PRIEST & CHORUS]
|
Halt and the maimed
|
|
[REVOLUTIONARY PRIEST]
|
Who have no Pope and no hope of paradise
|
|
[CHORUS]
|
No hope of paradise
|
|
[REVOLUTIONARY PRIEST]
|
And nothing to lose but their miserable earthly lives...
|
|
[CHORUS]
|
Nothing to lose but their lives
|
|
[REVOLUTIONARY PRIEST]
|
Everyone under the sun has the power
|
To change the way the world is arranged
|
|
[MALE CHORUS]
|
If you don't use it
|
The powers that be will abuse it
|
Give up but half of our power
|
And you'll get shafted
|
|
[CHORUS]
|
Vi......ve la Commune de Paris
|
|
[REVOLUTIONARY PRIEST & CHORUS]
|
Vive la, vive la, viva la Commune
|
Vive la, vive la, viva la Commune de Paris
