Marie Antoinette

Marie Antoinette, your name's a legend in this land

Treasure for your pleasure, bestowed on favoured gen-

tlemen

The people are in arms, marching on the town

They rise

chanting "Revolution! Viva 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

chanting "Revolution! Viva 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 noblemen

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 chanting "Revolution! Viva la Nation!"
