Bastille Day |
| Ooh, there’s no bread, let 'em eat cake |
| There’s no end to what they’ll take |
| Flaunt the fruits of noble birth |
| Wash the salt into the earth |
| But they’re marching to Bastille Day |
| The guillotine will claim her bloody prize |
| Free the dungeons of the innocent |
| The king will kneel and let his kingdom rise |
| Ooh, bloodstained velvet, dirty lace |
| Naked fear on every face |
| See them bow their heads to die |
| As we would bow when they rode by |
| And we’re marching to Bastille Day |
| The guillotine will claim her bloody prize |
| Sing, oh choirs of cacophony |
| The king has kneeled to let his kingdom rise |
| Lessons taught but never learned |
| All around us, anger burns |
| Guide the future by the past |
| Long ago the mould was cast |
| For they marched up to Bastille Day |
| The guillotine claimed her bloody prize |
| Hear the echoes of the centuries |
| Power isn’t all that money buys |
