Rush - Bastille Day Lyrics
Words and music by geddy lee, alex lifeson, and neil peartTheres no bread, let them eat cakeTheres no end to what theyll takeFlaunt the fruits of noble birthWash the salt into the earthBut theyre marching to bastille day la guillotine will claimHer bloody prize free the dungeons of the innocent the kingWill kneel, and let his kingdom riseBloodstained velvet, dirty lace***** fear on every faceSee them bow their heads to dieAs we would bow as they rode byAnd were marching to bastille day la guillotine will claimHer bloody prize sing, o choirs of cacophony the king hasKneeled, to let his kingdom riseLessons taught but never learnedAll around us anger burnsGuide the future by the pastLong ago the mould was castFor they marched up to bastille day la guillotine -- claimedHer bloody prize hear the echoes of the centuries power isntAll that money buys
