Song progression:
[Intro] x1
[Riff 1] x8
[Riff 1] x4 w/ lyrics:
Ooh, there's no bread, let them eat cake.
There's no end to what they'll take.
Flaunt the fruits of noble birth.
Wash the salt into the earth.
[Riff 2] x2
But they're marching to Bastille Day.
La guillotine will claim her bloody prize.
Free the dungeons of the innocent.
The king will kneel and let his kingdom rise.
[Riff 1] x4
[Riff 1] x4 /w lyrics:
Ooh, bloodstained velvet, dirty lace.
Naked fear on every face.
See them bow their heads to die
As we would bow as they rode by.
[Riff 2] x2
And we're marching to Bastille Day.
La guillotine will claim her bloody prize.
Sing oh choirs of cacophony.
The king has kneeled to let his kindgom rise.

[Riff 1] x4 /w lyrics:
Lessons taught but never learned.
All around us anger burns.
Guide the future by the past.
Long ago the mould was cast.
[Riff 2] x2
For they marched up to Bastille Day.
La guillotine claimed her bloody prize.
Hear the echoes of the centuries.
Power isn't all that money buys.
[Riff 3] x1 [do Section 1 TWICE]
