paroles de chanson Constitution Hill - Billy Bragg

Come, people, and listen to Liberty's song
It's time we were righting a very old wrong
While the fiddlers and flunkies of Parliament play
The rights of the people are fading away

Climbing, climbing, time we were climbing
Climbing Constitution Hill
They'll treat us like fools until we write the rules
And we're climbing Constitution Hill

Come all you young people and listen to me
It's time to stand up and make history
Put down your distractions the clamor it mounts
It's time to hold all the old men to account

Climbing, climbing, time we were climbing
Climbing Constitution Hill
Let's not ask for favors, let's be our own saviors
And climb up Constitution Hill

Come Parliamentarians, please heed the call
Don't stand in the doorway, don't block up the hall
For there'll be no trust or rule by consent
'Til the people are sovereign in Parliament

Climbing, climbing, time we were climbing
Climbing Constitution Hill
If the Crown just won't budge, then we'll give it a nudge
And we're climbing Constitution Hill

Climbing, climbing, time we were climbing
Climbing Constitution Hill
They'll treat you like fools until you write the rules
And you climb up Constitution Hill
