Silver, Sugar And Indigo |
TROUBLEMAKER How can you sleep? How can you think? How can you live with no coffee to drink? You'd better pray you don't have a sweet tooth The price of sugar is through the roof Robespierre, Brissot and Concordant all agree We must set the blackbird free But sugar and silver and indigo Make even the wisest man "idiot!"

REVOLUTIONARY SLAVE To the Windward Isles
REVOLUTIONARY SLAVE & CHORUS It comes today
REVOLUTIONARY SLAVE The wind of change blows this way
REVOLUTIONARY SLAVE & CHORUS Blows this way
REVOLUTIONARY SLAVE In Sante Domingo and elsewhere To slaves of sugar and despair
REVOLUTIONARY SLAVE & CHORUS Silver, sugar, indigo Silver, sugar, indigo Silver, sugar, indigo Silver, sugar, indigo Silver, sugar, indigo Silver, sugar, indigo Silver, sugar, indigo Silver, sugar, indigo Make even the wisest man "idiot!" Make even the wisest man "idiot!"
REVOLUTIONARY SLAVE Bring freedom to the
REVOLUTIONARY SLAVE & CHORUS Colonies Act on principle
REVOLUTIONARY SLAVE Equality, fraternity and
REVOLUTIONARY SLAVE & CHORUS Liberty
REVOLUTIONARY SLAVE Are
REVOLUTIONARY SLAVE & CHORUS Not just words after all
REVOLUTIONARY SLAVE But
REVOLUTIONARY SLAVE & CHORUS Sugar is sweet
REVOLUTIONARY SLAVE And
REVOLUTIONARY SLAVE & CHORUS Coffee is strong Hope goes down with the sun
REVOLUTIONARY SLAVE And
REVOLUTIONARY SLAVE & CHORUS The sun goes down behind
CONDORCET & MARIE MARIANNE Mountains of silver Valleys of sugar And shiploads of indigo Make even the wisest man "idiot!"
REVOLUTIONARY SLAVE & CHORUS Make even the wisest man "idiot!"
MARIE MARIANNE So come ye ships Across the sea Let's case into the deep This shame and misery In Paris they condemn our rage Condorcet stands his ground and says:
CONDORCET My friends if we believe in freedom Then we must unlock this cage
COMPANY Vive Condorcet, hear him scold them, The frigid reactionary old men Good God above it's over Enough is enough Enough, enough, enough To the Windward Isles Revolution has arrived They will only free us when They need us to fight for them
CONDORCET & MARIE MARIANNE Cast into the deep sea This shame and this misery Silver, sugar and indigo Make even the wisest man "idiot!"
CHORUS Make even the wisest man "idiot!"
COMPANY "Idiot!" |
