Give France Back To The French

Verse 1

Saw the flags on the boulevard

Faded prints on a postcard

Talkin' round the old café

Somebody's got somethin' to say

Pre-Chorus

They painted over the cobblestones

Borrowed the land and sold the bones

Who gave them the right to rename the streets

When the heart of the nation still beats

Chorus

Give France back to the French today

Give France back let the people say

Give France back to the French

Give France back to the French

Verse 2

Walked the Seine in the morning rain

Every stone remembers the pain

They built their towers on someone's dream

Now they're tearin' down at the seam

Pre-Chorus

The market square's gone quiet now

Foreign voices tell us how

To live our lives on borrowed ground

But the old church bells still sound

Chorus

Give France back to the French today

Give France back let the people say

Give France back to the French

Give France back to the French

Bridge

Oh the vineyards weep in June

Underneath a borrowed moon

The children ask their mothers why

Their grandfathers had to die

For a table set by someone else

For a story sold for something else

Chorus

Give France back to the French today

Give France back let the people say

Give France back to the French

Give France back to the French

Outro

(France back) oh the people say

(France back) on the avenue

(France back) let the old bells ring

Give it back

Give it back
