Marie Antoinette
Marie Antoinette
Your name's a legend
In this land
Treasure for your pleasure
Bestowed on favoured gentleman
The people are in arms
Marching on the town
They rise
Chanting revolution
Vive 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
Vive 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 noble man
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
Vive la Nation
Your name's a legend
In this land
Treasure for your pleasure
Bestowed on favoured gentleman
The people are in arms
Marching on the town
They rise
Chanting revolution
Vive 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
Vive 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 noble man
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
Vive la Nation
