Save me
Save me from myself
Save me from those robes with long noses
We wore our wits on our sleeves
We aim to please
Make clear to the masses
Bread is the reason for reason
Madame Deficit and her Frothy Biscuit
Jetsetter, Black Snapper, and her Frothy Biscuit
Save me
Save me from myself
Save me from those kings with long noses
The incorruptible rich with power
No Sunday calendar
Never a hair…
Or a phrase outta place
Until now… until now
I just wanted what’s best for you
I thought I knew
Blood, terror
We’re all in this together
Until now… until now
How did I miss… how did I miss?
Save me
Save me from myself
Save me
Save me from somebody else

Liberty!
Yeah, that’s for me.
Liberty!
Gonna set me free.
So you find yourself, in a bind
And you’ld really like to, speak your mind.
Why don’t people, let me be?
What will it take, for them to see?
I’ve got the right to be free
And stand on my own two feet!
Liberty!
Yeah, that’s for me.
Liberty!
Gonna set me free.
So you’re the victim, of a crime.
They’re taking more, and more each time.
Why don’t they let me, live in peace?
Will the tyranny, ever cease?
In every time, in every place
We’ve got to stand for the human race!
Liberty!
Yeah, that’s for me.
Liberty!
Gonna set me free.
All the citizens, being equal in the eyes of the law, are equally admissible to all public dignities, places, and employments, according to their capacity and without distinction other than that of their virtues and of their talents…
Liberty!
Yeah, that’s for me.
Liberty!
Gonna set me free.
Liberty!
Yeah, that’s for me.
Liberty!
Gonna set me free.

Goodnight Marie, now it's time we go.
The crowd out front is calling out for another show.
Here's one last thing you really ought to know,
These have been the days of wine and roses
The Third Estate, no one's saying they don't struggle to make a living,
But their ideas of injustice are just so unforgiving.
So kiss me once before they run me to the gallows
In the afterglow of the days of wine and roses.
Robespierre will be the death of me.
My dear Marie, it's the end of the monarchy.
Since the day the Bastille was compromised,
I'm a nervous kind of guy. Marie, I don't want to die.
Good night Marie, now it's getting late.
I sure do wish you hadn't started that nonsense about eating cake.
C'est la vie, au revoir, remember me tomorrow,
and hold on to the days of wine and roses.
We both wore pantyhoses, in the days of wine and roses.

"I want men beside me
who are upright and fair.
Innocence, that prime virtue,
should not and cannot fear public scrutiny."
"To revolutionaries,
danger can't outweigh duty."
"The Republic was built by the people.
Justice? Don't you trust the Revolutionary Tribunal?"
"Every day, the world is watching us.
We must show no weakness, no moral cowardice.
What would become of France
if we lost the trust of the French?"
