LYRICS
When you shoot-up unarmed cartoonists
Blood flows like wine… time to draw the line
Our attitude forever persists
Oui we! Not fine… the line’s been drawn
A defiance to carry-on
When the French get fried… the French are toast
The true get tried and make the most
When The End Of Times are upon
Oui we! Not fine… the line’s been drawn
A defiance to carry-on
(whistling solo)
Viva la viva la song and dance
Time to give free speech a chance
What the extreme deem as obscene
Makes it obvious they don’t know what they mean
Oui we… a new dawn
From a defiance to carry-on

ABOUT THE SONG
Capo 3
G Em
C D G
Daniel — Vocals, Guitar
Inspired by the lack of whine in France, a post by a friend about “unarmed cartoonists” and a BBC commentators observation of “a defiance to carry-on”. The song is about the positive attitude after cartoonists at the magazine Charlie Hebdo were murdered by terrorists.
