Lyrics Act 3: Scene 2: The National Assembly Is Confused - Roger Waters
The
National
Assembly
is
confused
The
Girondins
blow
back
and
forth
Like
flags
and
ashes
scattered
by
the
truth
Oi,
Mister...
What
is
a
Girondid?
A
Girondin
is
careful
of
the
company
he
keeps
He
looks
to
find
a
sign
before
he
leaps
Like
ranks
of
Marseillaise,
six
hundred
deep
Arraigned
before
the
Tuileries
It′s
the
end
of
monarchy
Vive
la
Commune
de
Paris!
The
presence
of
the
Prussians
on
the
border
IS
a
worrisome
thing
The
Brunswick
manifesto
Serves
only
to
stiffen
the
sinews
And
weaken
the
King
To
depose
him
now
Fills
the
Girondid
hearts
with
fear
But
the
Prussians
cross
the
border
And
the
order
of
the
day
becomes
clear
The
monarchy
is
over
No
more
days
in
clover
The
monarchy,
c'est
fini
Brunswick
is
a
liar;
just
listen
to
our
cannon
fire
The
National
Assembly
comes
in
line
With
the
half
and
the
maimed
And
the
dead
and
the
dying
The
monarchy,
c′est
fini
