Vive la Commune De Paris For the love of God IN the name of freedom For the crippled and the poor 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 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 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 Vive la Commune de Paris in God's name In God's name Vive la Commune de Paris For the Halt and the maimed Who have no Pope and no hope of paradise No hope of paradise And nothing to lose but their miserable earthly lives... Nothing to lose but their lives Everyone under the sun has the power To change the way the world is arranged 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 Vi......ve la Commune de Paris Vive la, vive la, viva la Commune Vive la, vive la, viva la Commune de Paris
