La vie s'ecoule, la vie s'enfuit
Life goes by, life escapes
The days march by to the step of
boredom
Party of the Reds, Party of the Grays
Our revolutions
are betrayed
Work kills, work pays
Time is bought at the supermarket
Paid
time does not return
Youth dies from lost time
The eyes, made for love to love,
Are the reflections of a world of
objects
Without dreams and without reality
We are condemned to
images
Those who were shot, the famished
Come towards us from the depths of
the past
Nothing has changed but everything begins
And ripens in
violence
Burn, dens of priests
Nests of merchants, police officers
On the
wind that disseminates the tempest
The days of festival are
harvested
The guns directed at us
Against the bosses they will be turned
No more leaders, no more State
They profit from our battles
(Words by Raoul Vaneigem, May 1968; music by Francis Lemonnier.
