5. I nominate Bernie Ebbers as first to go... |

Allons enfants de la patrie, Le jour de gloire est arrivé Contre nous de la tyrannie L'étendard sanglant est levé Entendez vous dans les campagnes, Mugir ces féroces soldats? Ils viennent jusque dans nos bras Egorger nos fils, nos compagnes!
Aux armes, citoyens! Formez vos bataillons! Marchons! Marchons! Qu'un sang impur Abreuve nos sillons!
Amour sacré de la patrie, Conduis, soutiens nos bras vengeurs! Liberté, Liberté cherie, Combats avec tes defenseurs! Sous nos drapeaux, que la victoire Accoure à tes males accents! Que tes ennemis expirants Voient ton triomphe et notre gloire!
Nous entrerons dans la carrière Quand nos ainés n'y seront plus; Nous y trouverons leur poussière Et la trace de leurs vertus. Bien moins jaloux de leur survivre Que de partager leur cercueil, Nous aurons le sublime orgueil De les venger ou de les suivre!

7. Those words were from a very trying time |
|
France had an internal revolution against the King and the old monarchies of Europe, including the Prussians and the Prussian Army were invading France from the outside in order to put down the People.

There's no bread, let them eat cake There's no end to what they'll take Flaunt the fruits of noble birth Wash the salt into the earth
But they're marching to Bastille Day La guillotine will claim her bloody prize Free the dungeons of the innocent The king will kneel and let his kingdom rise
Bloodstained velvet, dirty lace Naked fear on every face See them bow their heads to die As we would bow as they rode by
And we're marching to Bastille Day La guillotine will claim her bloody prize Sing, oh choirs of cacophony The king has kneeled, to let his kingdom rise
Lessons taught but never learned All around us anger burns Guide the future by the past Long ago the mould was cast
For they marched up to Bastille Day La guillotine claimed her bloody prize Hear the echoes of the centuries Power isn't all that money buys
/// Lyrics by Neil Peart

12. You Went The Wrong Way, Old King Louie |
|
This song was how I first learned about the French Revolution
You Went The Wrong Way, Old King Louie by Allan Sherman
Louis the Sixteenth was the King of France in 1789. He was worse than Louis the Fifteenth. He was worse than Louis the Fourteenth. He was worse than Louis the Thirteenth. He was the worst since Louis the First. King Louis was living like a king, but the people were living rotten. So the people, they started an uprising which they called the French Revolution, and of course you remember their battle cry, which will never be forgotten:
You went the wrong way, Old King Louie. You made the population cry. 'Cause all you did was sit and pet With Marie Antoinette In your place at Versailles.
And now the country's gone kablooie. So we are giving you the air. That oughta teach you not to Spend all your time fooling 'round At the Folies Bergere.
If you had been a nicer king, We wouldn't do a thing, But you were bad, you must admit. We're gonna take you and the Queen Down to the guillotine, And shorten you a little bit.
You came the wrong way, Old King Louie. And now you ain't got far to go. Too bad you won't be here to see That great big Eiffel Tower, Or Brigitte Bardot.
To you King Louie we say fooey. You disappointed all of France. But then what else could we expect From a king in silk stockings And pink satin pants.
You filled your stomach with chop suey. And also crepe suzettes and steak. And when they told your wife Marie That nobody had bread, she said "Let 'em eat cake."
We're gonna take you and the Queen Down to the guillotine, It's somewhere in the heart of town. And when that fella's through With what he's gonna do, You'll have no place to hang your crown.
You came the wrong way Old King Louie. Now we must put you on the shelf. That's why the people are revolting, 'cause Louie, You're pretty revolting yourself!
