Lyrics
Marie Antoinette Your name's a legend In this land Treasure for your pleasure Bestowed on favoured gentleman The people are in arms Marching on the town They rise - Changing revolution! "Vive la Nation!" Marie Antoinette Your shadow's falling Along the land Anger born of hunger Poisons the hearts of your loyal men Fire in their eyes Steel in their hands They rise - Changing revolution! "Vive la Nation!" Clamouring in the square The rabble have gone insane They're over the balustrades Defying the cannon fire They're into the garrison They murder the noble man Marie - Antoinette Marie - Antoinette We are the people of France We demand That the elegant blue-blooded Leeches that bleed us Are taught what it means To grow fat and not feed us We are the people of France You must heed us Already at the Bastille The prisoners all run free They're hammering on the door Marie Antoinette They've taken the guillotine They're coming to take the Queen Marie Antoinette The King and the guards Have fled... Marie Antoinette Your shadow's falling Along the land Anger born of hunger Poisoned your men They rise - Changing revolution! "Vive la Nation!"
