lyrics

À force de se tenir nu
Face à la vérité
On se demande pourquoi le dieu des gueux
Est toujours du côté des riches

L’enfer des pauvres fait le paradis des princes
À l’amiable, ils ne céderont jamais rien

De la fange à nos chaumières
Laborieux et repoussant
Le pain ne se transforme pas en chair
Le vin ne goûte pas comme le sang

L’enfer des pauvres fait le paradis des princes
À l’amiable, ils ne céderont jamais rien

Notre dégoût du beau linge
Ne suppose pas nos pieds sales
En attendant le tocsin
Nous dormirons sur la paille
Ni pain, ni liberté
Ça ne nous prendra que des flammes
Sans roi, ni monnaie
Nous sommes votre prochain drame
Notre cœur est plus vaste
Que tous les projets de mur
Plus noir que l’plus sombre des contrastes
Plus solide que toutes les armures


"The War of the Poor"
Liberalism managed somehow to make the class opposition disappear, by dividing the workers, and making the identification of rulers as enemies more subtle than it used to be. Their weapons being the isolation of the division of labor, delocalization, and uberization of the workers of course, but also creating this illusion of comfort through consumerism for the popular classes... But class war is still relevant to me, and it seems like more and more people realize this and that the tendency might reverse, and that we could win that fight someday... I guess it’s one of the only "optimistic" songs I ever wrote.
