(French Protest Song)


We Won't Give A Fucking Inch

From the slums of my projects
To the depths of your suburbia
Oor reality ia the same
And revolt is brewing everywhere

In this world there's no place for us
We don't look the part
We're not to the manor born
Not on daddy's plastic

Homeless,Unemployed, workers
Farmers, immigrants, Undocumented
They wanted to divide us
And they succeeded

As long as it was every man for himself
Their system could prosper
But one day, inevitably, we woke up
Now. their heads have to roll

We're Not Giving A Fucking Inch

They spoke about about equality
And like fools we believed them
"Democracy" makes me laugh
If we had had it we would have known it

What's the worth of our votes
Up against the law of the market?
They say "my dear fellow countrymen"
But we're fucked all the same

And what's the worth of human rights
Up against the airbus sale?
The bottom line, there's only one law, in sum:
"Sell yourself more to sell more."

The republic is a whore
Walking the street of dictators
We no longer believe
Their beautiful words
Our leaders are liars

We're Not Giving A Fucking Inch

So stupid, so trite,
To speak of peace and brotherhood
When the homeless are dying in the streets
And the undocumented are being driven out

They throw crumbs to us proles
Just shit to calm us down
So they won't attack millionaire bosses
"Too important for our society"

It's crazy how they're protected
All the rich and powerful
Not to mention the help they get
For being the friends of the president

Dear comrades, dear "voters"
Dear "citizen-consumers"
The alarm has rung
It's time
To reset to zero

As long as we're fighting, there's hope
As long as we're alive, we'll fight
As long as we're fighting, we're standing
Here's the key
We're standing, we won't give an inch

The passion for victory runs in our blood
Now you know why we're fighting
Our ideal, more than a dream
Another world, we have no choice

We're Not Giving A Fucking Inch

Earlier footage posted to the Internet, said to have been filmed in Cairo, showed huge crowds whistling, cheering and chanting, "Allah Akbar," or "God is great."

I am going to take a wait and see attitude on this.

4. You know what

I've liked you for a long time. There's something sinceringly endeearing about you but your kneejerk defense of imperialism of imperilism, by the articles you choose to highlight, isn't one of them.

Please forgive me for being so blunt. It's only because I think we're on the same.

7. Of course they would

In Arabic culture you don't have to be a radical Islamist to say that. Ever read a good translation of the Thousand and One Nights?

There is always the possibility that they could take advantage of events but this looks beyond them.

9. The English equivalent is "Amen". What a sad world. Thnks n/t

8. There is a lot more going on than in just that one article.

One of the things going on was that the Christians protected the Muslims during their morning prayers. These people are coming together against a dictator and imperialistic regime. There's far more to it.

There are several threads here with much information.

Perhaps we finally have a successor anthem to this classic from Chile:
