Roger Waters - 'Vive la Commune de Paris...'
текст песни

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 tambourines beat
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 colottes 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 your 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 Pairs
