Verse 1

Kick it off in seventeen eighty-nine

King Louis had a spending problem

And a lock on the grain

Third Estate paid the tax

Clergy and nobles just relaxed

Necker published the budget by accident

People read it and got mad instantly

Drop

Davay davay hardbass

Verse 2

Bastille had like seven prisoners inside

Mostly guys who wrote rude pamphlets

Sans-culottes stormed it anyway

For gunpowder not for liberty

Then the Great Fear hit the countryside

Peasants burned the feudal paperwork alive

August Fourth they abolished privilege overnight

Nobody planned it

It just sort of happened right

Chorus

Storm the gate storm the gate

Storm the gate storm the gate

Tennis Court Oath

Storm the gate storm the gate

Storm the gate storm the gate

Oath Oath Oath

Verse 3

Maximilien Robespierre ran the Committee

Guillotine got busy like a factory

Danton went first

Then Desmoulins

Then Robespierre himself

That's the irony

Thermidor nine

He tried to speak and got shouted down

Same blade different day

Round and round

Chorus

Storm the gate storm the gate

Storm the gate storm the gate

Tennis Court Oath

Storm the gate storm the gate

Storm the gate storm the gate

Oath Oath Oath

Breakdown

Danton

Desmoulins

Boom boom boom boom

Verse 4

Directory ran it sloppy for a bit

Then a Corsican guy in a big gray coat

Napoleon took the whole thing over

Sold it back as an empire

Wrote a code about it

That's the whole revolution

Explained extremely badly

You are welcome

Now jump
