Bài hát Slavers, Landlords, Bigots At Your Door Báo Lỗi

[REVOLUTIONARY PRIEST]

Slaves, Landlords, Bigots at your door

Aristocrats, Democrats, survivors of the North American war

Some with heart, some without hate

Some with faith in the human race

And so the loan sharks

Selling dreams in honeyed tones like skylarks

And rats who speak like cats of sacred rights

The sacred rights of the family


[MARIE MARIANNE]

And al those brave souls both brave enough and crazy enough

To spill their blood for truth alone

That one or two ideas survive, always survive

Writ in blood on paving stones


[RINGMASTER]

Writ in blood


[MARIE MARIANNE]

On paving stones


[CHILDREN'S CHORUS]

And the noble class who rule

Having been to all the best schools

Have thought it through and are good enough

To explain what is best for us

It came to them in a dream

In a blinding flash of light

Equality, fraternity and not just in the afterlife

And they promise us reading

And they promise us reading


[CHILDREN'S CHORUS & FEMALE CHORUS]

If we kneel before the King

If we kneel before the King


[SOLO CHILD]

So this is the State of France


[RINGMASTER, REVOLUTIONARY PRIEST & MARIE MARIANNE]

And on the street corners

The broadsheets all carry the usual story

A people dying to believe in some benign authority

To lead them down a road that’s paved with glory

To lead them down a road that’s paved with glory
