The Commune De Paris |
RINGMASTER The Monarchy restored The crown sits tilted and uneasy now The Girondins, one eye cocked nervous in the East, Are loath to bring it down
TROUBLEMAKER But at the gates Beyond the palsied grip of limp and timid politics The Marseillais are girded for the fray With pike and pick and bloodied stick They'll plant the laurel tree And their song will be a fanfare for the Commune de Paris... |
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 Vi...ve la Commune de Paris
REVOLUTIONARY PRIEST & CHORUS Vive la, vive la, vive la Commune Vive la, vive la, vive la Commune de Paris |
RINGMASTER The National Assembly is confused The Girondins blow back and forth Like flags and ashes scattered by the truth
BOY Oi, Mister... What is a Girondin?
RINGMASTER A Girondin is careful of the company he keeps He looks to find a sign before he leaps
TROUBLEMAKER Like ranks of Marseillaise, six hundred deep Arraigned before the Tuileries
CHORUS It's the end of monarchy Vive la Commune de Paris!
RINGMASTER The presence of the Prussians on the border Is a worrisome thing The Brunswick manifesto Serves only to stiffen the sinews And weaken the King To depose him now Fills the Girondid hearts with fear But the Prussians cross the border And the order of the day becomes clear
REVOLUTIONARY PRIEST & CHILDREN'S CHORUS The monarchy is over No more days in clover
CHORUS The monarchy, c'est fini
REVOLUTIONARY PRIEST & CHILDREN'S CHORUS Brunswick is a liar; just listen to our cannon fire
REVOLUTIONARY PRIEST The National Assembly comes in line With the half and the maimed And the dead and the dying The monarchy, c'est fini |
