Roger Waters - Vive la Commune de Paris lyrics

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 Vive la Commune de Paris REVOLUTIONARY PRIEST & CHORUS Vive la, vive la, viva la Commune Vive la, vive la, viva la Commune de Paris
