Words and music by geddy lee, alex lifeson, and neil peart<br><br>There's no bread, let them eat cake<br>There's no end to what they'll take<br>Flaunt the fruits of noble birth<br>Wash the salt into the earth<br><br>But they're marching to bastille day la guillotine will claim<br>Her bloody prize free the dungeons of the innocent the king<br>Will kneel, and let his kingdom rise<br><br>Bloodstained velvet, dirty lace<br>Naked fear on every face<br>See them bow their heads to die<br>As we would bow as they rode by<br><br>And we're marching to bastille day la guillotine will claim<br>Her bloody prize sing, o choirs of cacophony the king has<br>Kneeled, to let his kingdom rise<br><br>Lessons taught but never learned<br>All around us anger burns<br>Guide the future by the past<br>Long ago the mould was cast<br><br>For they marched up to bastille day la guillotine -- claimed<br>Her bloody prize hear the echoes of the centuries power isn't<br>All that money buys
