Roger Waters - To Take Your Hat Off Lyrics
[CHILDREN'S CHORUS]
To take your hat off
Is the gesture of a toff
But even his lordship needs a head
To take his hat off of
By being somewhat too polite
In face of all the pain and fear that festered
For more than a thousand years
[SERGEANT (off stage)]
By the left, Quick March!
[CHILDREN'S CHORUS]
Dampierre has lost his head
The King has lost his grown
The crowd jeers, the wheels squeak
Hey, hey, what goes around
Always comes around
[MALE CHORUS]
IN Germany and England
They celebrate our liberty
Over there by and by
They'll have their 14th of July
In Germany and England they fete our
[MALE CHORUS & CHILDREN]
Liberty
[OFFICER]
The National Assembly try to whitewash the King
[MALE CHORUS]
His brothers in law
Are camped on every border
They fear to depose him
Would men war
[MARIE MARIANNE, RINGMASTER, OFFICER & CHORUS]
But feelings run deep
And the man in the street
Hungry, weak but unbowed
Scents the taste so sweet of peacock meat
As it wafts over the crowd
So they march to the Camps du Mars
To demand Republic now
[CHILDREN'S CHORUS]
Republic here, now, today
The National Assembly
Has got it wrong
[SERGEANT]
Present...
[CHILDREN'S CHORUS]
We sing in the Camps du Mars
[SERGEANT]
Take Aim...
[CHILDREN'S CHORUS]
We sing of what we want
[SERGEANT]
FIRE!
[CHILDREN'S CHORUS]
