Vive la fausse révolution!

Everyone wants to be a revolutionary,

a hero, a martyr, or more.

Empty minds seeking an empty prize,

of fame and boundless glory.

 

Everyone wants to be a wiseman,

without searching for the wisdom.

Everyone wants to break free,

from their phony societal prison.

 

Everyone wants to be loaded,

without having to earn the dough.

A tax or two will surely do,

those ***** capitalists will eat crow!

 

Everyone wants to change the world,

without having to change themselves.

Everyone wants everything,

except to be ourselves.
