Marie Antoinette - Curved Air

Marie Antoinette

your name's a legend in this land

Treasure for your pleasure

bestowed on favoured gentlemen

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
