Lyrics:

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, viva la Commune

Vive la, vive la, viva la Commune de Paris
