Liberty |
TROUBLEMAKER We want to get rid of the Guillotine And abolish pain somehow But to make a world free of tears We build these scaffolds now
OFFICER Come dry your tears and pray explain How can we abolish pain? If we don't build these scaffolds now These instruments of injustice These tools of execution
REVOLUTIONARY PRIEST We've given to the Guillotine More blood than you have ever seen What end could justify these means?
OFFICER We've given more of our blood
MALE CHORUS We've given
REVOLUTIONARY PRIEST We've given more of our blood
MALE CHORUS We've given
OFFICER We've given more of our blood
MALE CHORUS More of our blood
CHORUS We've given, we've given More blood than we could turn to love
REVOLUTIONARY PRIEST & OFFICER Than we could ever hope to turn to
REVOLUTIONARY PRIEST Love
REVOLUTIONARY PRIEST & OFFICER More blood, than we could Ever hope could turn to love
CHORUS We've given, we've given More blood, than we could turn to love
REVOLUTIONARY PRIEST Come angles of mercy Come doves of peace Shine a light on all these warring clubs and cliques
OFFICER The jackal and hyena who prowl these city streets Would turn in their own mother for a little extra meat
REVOLUTIONARY PRIEST From the piles of dead the Republic comes to life Her mutilated body reeling like a drunken fishwife Gives birth to the future
OFFICER Gives birth on the street
REVOLUTIONARY PRIEST, OFFICER & CHORUS Impure and exultant she gives birth to the dream
RINGMASTER & MARIE MARIANNE When the dream
REVOLUTIONARY PRIEST When the dream
RINGMASTER & MARIE MARIANNE Is understood
REVOLUTIONARY PRIEST Is understood
RINGMASTER, REVOLUTIONARY PRIEST & MARIE MARIANNE That no man should live in chains That the great and the small are equal after all |
RINGMASTER And in the bushes where they survive The winder hail and the slaughter The birds were attacked by the dogs and the rats Hiding round every corner
REVOLUTIONARY PRIEST When you're a rat caught in a trap with not even cheese you get mean
CHILDREN'S CHORUS But we are not rats
OFFICER When you're a rabid dog you need to spread your disease
CHILDREN'S CHORUS But we are not dogs
REVOLUTIONARY PRIEST & OFFICER When you're a man and they say you should be an angel
CHILDREN'S CHORUS We're not even human
REVOLUTIONARY PRIEST When you're less than nothing
OFFICER & MALE CHORUS Less than nothing
REVOLUTIONARY PRIEST, OFFICER & CHILDREN'S CHORUS Less than nothing as sure as the sparrows sing
MARIE MARIANNE If wishes give us power to make it all come right If we could walk through mirrors If we could touch the light We'd shrug off our illusions and what was left would be The strength and bravery To feel what we feel And be what we'd be...
REVOLUTIONARY PRIEST Of all the woman none can hold a light to liberty
REVOLUTIONARY PRIEST & CHORUS With wings to fly and eyes to see
TROUBLEMAKER & CHORUS She's the one who loves us The one that we adore When you're laughing with the sun out Or lying wounded in a dug out
REVOLUTIONARY PRIEST With wings to fly and eyes to see Freedom is her name
OFFICER She makes a fearsome ally If you stand up with no shame
REVOLUTIONARY PRIEST But liberty is nothing if you love her on your knees
OFFICER & MALE CHORUS And liberty can't hear you when you're hanging from an olive tree!
RINGMASTER If we don't founder in pursuit luxury In forgetfulness of others needs And in the depths of our own believes
MARIE MARIANNE If we don't hide in that solitary dream Safe in our shells In respect for the powers that be And in fear of our selves
CHILDREN'S CHORUS If wishes could come true If mirrors could be seen through No more mystery Only the strength and bravery To help one another To see what its like to be... Happy! No bird needs to be afraid To leave his nest and to parade Up and down the boulevard all day, All day, all day! No bird must be greedy And eat up all the seed 'Til every bird has had enough, Every bird Be he rich or be he poor Be he great or be he small Every bird, every bird, every bird, every bird Will go to the ball
RINGMASTER If this life's a journey we take
REVOLUTIONARY PRIEST If the secret the sharing cake
MARIE MARIANNE Holds the key, holds the key to joy
RINGMASTER And unlocks these doors inside
REVOLUTIONARY PRIEST Where Republic must surely hide
MARIE MARIANNE If wishes really could come true
RINGMASTER If we see through the illusions
REVOLUTIONARY PRIEST & CHORUS And abide by the constitution
MARIE MARIANNE There'll be human rights for everyone
CHORUS Unique and universal
COMPANY For everyone Under the sun!
RINGMASTER, REVOLUTIONARY PRIEST, MARIE MARIANNE, TROUBLEMAKER & OFFICER If we are not lost in these towers of ivory In respect for the strong And in fear of our need to belong The promise of Republic lies within Ça Ira
COMPANY Ça Ira!
