what is bread?

Lyrics:

If the coming revolution Is to be a social revolution,

It will be disillusioned from all former uprisings

Not only by its aim,

but also by it’s methods

The people strove to overturn the old regime,

and spent their heart’s blood for the cause

Then, after having borne the brunt of battle,

they sank again into obscurity

This Government occupied itself first of all with political questions,

such as the reorganization of the machinery of government

They discussed various political questions at great length,

but forgot to discuss the question of bread.

Bread, It is bread the revolution needs

In 1871 the Commune perished for lack of combatants

It had taken measures for the separation of Church and State,

but it neglected, alas, until too late,

to take measures for providing the people with bread

Let others spend their time in issuing pompous proclamations,

in decorating themselves lavishly with official gold lace,

and in talking about political liberty

Be it ours to see,

from the first day of the Revolution to the last,

in all the provinces fighting for freedom,

that there is not a single man who lacks bread

Bread Bread Bread Bread Bread Bread Bread Bread
