For Marie Antoinette
Take a look around you.
Tell me what you see.
Are the people happy?
Content, comfortable and free?
Take a look around you.
Do you see as I?
How many more must suffer?
How many more men must die?
Take a look around you.
Ignorance is not an excuse.
Do you know how many have suffered
From your ignorant abuse?
Take a look around you,
You pampered, spoiled ditty.
The people are starving,
Show your people some pity!
Take a look around you,
Do you know their bellies ache?
Did you really just say,
Let them eat cake?
Take a look around you,
Your people are calling for revolution
It seems that they want
Nothing more than your retribution.
Take a look around you.
Tell me what you see.
Are your people happy?
Content, comfortable and free?
