Lyrics:

The relics of feudalism
Revolution in France
Oh, the three estates ensured nobles favoritism
Revolution in France
La la Liberte
Egalite
Fraternite
A revolution.
La la liberte
Egalite
Fraternite
A revolution.
Don't want no taxes.
I'm paying too much.
Let them eat cake
We had a banquet for lunch
I need my bread
Bread, bread, bread,
Off with her head
It went from 8 sous to 12 in a year
Exactly what impoverished peasants had feared
The royals jeered, ha ha ha
There's more for us
The peasants won't pay
Bad nutrition and tooth decay
It went from famine to Napoleon's war
You and me, let's start a revolution
We will not take this poverty any more
You and me, let's start a revolution
On a tennis court we swore a constitution
Revolution in France
On July 14 we stormed the Bastille, we showed them
Revolution in France
La la liberte
Egalite
Fraternite
The month of August 1789
No feudalism, Declaration of Rights
August decrees
Swept away the two estates
Women of Paris march down to Versailles
The French king they defied
You'll give us bread
Bread! bread or we'll stab you dead!!
With a limited monarchy
It was a bad time for France
We took on Austria, a war in the spring
Europe frightened by our revolution
We will not take it Louis XVI must die
Tension heightened by our revolution
Radical political mobs unite to start a
Revolution in France
Breech-less sans-culottes of the Paris Commune demanded
Revolution in France
La la liberte
Egalite
Fraternite
Revolution in France
La la liberte
Egalite
Fraternite
Walk, walk, scaffold, baby
Guillotine was going crazy
Take heads of kings and ladies
Europe armed for the invading
Walk, walk, scaffold, baby
Guillotine was going crazy
Robespierre, Reign of Terror
Did it for the Public Safety
I want your loyalty or I'll get my revenge
I take you out
Till your rebellion ends
Don't want no church
Catholicism's dead
No room for God
Worship reason instead
Good ol' Notre Dame became a "temple of reason"
Revolution of France
A new calendar with months named for times and seasons
Revolution in France
The Terror ended and with Robespierre gone
Was this the ending of the revolution
Five memberse of the new directory ruled
Could it be a permanent solution
Directory and legislature filled with corruption
Revolution in France
Monarchists and wars would cause even more disruption
Revolution in France
Oo, oo, oo la la
Coup d'etat
Oo, oo, oo la la
Napoleon's here
