From the recording Manalay Blonde
Lyrics
I remember I was running up a banner while keeping my face hid
Behind a blood red bandana crying out it’s forbidden to forbid
With a string of Molotov cocktails half of France then was out on strike
As I wound up in jail – Paris gonna burn tonight
Hey comrade
Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on
We’ve got the will of the people they’ve got rockets and guns
Hey comrade
They say De Gaulle is gonna go
Step out on the boulevard summon up Verlaine and Rimbaud
Now the government solution – say they’re gonna send in the tanks
Gonna have a revolution – take the money from the banks
And they call us instigators, men in grey suits ain’t got no fight
And that we’re collaborators, Paris gonna burn tonight
Hey comrade
Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on
We’ve got the will of the people they’ve got rockets and guns
Hey comrade
They say De Gaulle is gonna go
Step out on the boulevard summon up Verlaine and Rimbaud
Personnes ne dort quand on a des rèves comme ca
Personnes ne dort quand on a des rèves comme ca
Où-est Jacques Rouges maintenant?
On fait la Bastille
Et les gendarmes?
Où-est les gendarmes ce soir?
Devant Le Sorbonne ou quoi?
Hey comrade
Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on
We’ve got the will of the people they’ve got rockets and guns
Hey comrade
They say De Gaulle is gonna go
Step out on the boulevard summon up Verlaine and Rimbaud
