lyrics

We are but rats on the lowly city streets
and we must bow down to royalty
we have no food or bread so we'll eat rotten meat instead
and we will die how we were born, down on our knees
Well the king, he doesn't care if his people go hungry
what are we his people for
but if we organize than boys we'll catch him by surprise
and he'll see what we have in store

Hold your head high brother, the new day comes tomorrow
won't have to beg or borrow we won't hide there in the night
I'll scream "Viva la republique!' and fight until the sunrise
and if I fall before you then I pray you see the light

Build the barricade, my friends,
we'll show them we mean business
they think we're fucking schoolboys but we'll put them to the test
and let God and this country be our witness

We men are made of flesh and bone
but our flesh is easily broken
but our lives and our ideals will be remembered after this
and they'll know that we weren't joking
