Oh when there’s ice in my nose
And frost on my toes

I don’t care that my fingers are blue

ad

Or when my willy is too...

Oh, I don’t care:

when there’s snow in my hair
when mitts are all snotty

Or when we're smelly and grotty
When there’s snow in my ears
Or I have ice for my tears

I Don’t care.

But I do care that there is ice in our beer.
Oh that our beer all ice

There’s dammed ice in our beer

I've got no beer with my ice

our beer is not nice

when it’s icey icey ice

When we can’t keep on the drinking
My emotions are sinking

It’s why I bought a thermos.

You don't
have to sit in
school to
stand among
greatness.

Ecoutez, écoutez.

Liberté, égalité, fraternité.

Let those words echo

Through valley, sword and stone.
Remember who you are.
Remember where you are from.
Ecoutez, écoutez.

Hear every sound

Hear the friends lament

And the families weep.

Hear the sadness
through the street.

Luttez.
Luttez contre la terreur

Contre ceux qui
limitent la liberté.

Contre ceux qui osent

Se croire étre mieux

Qui croient avoir la seule vérité.
Ecoutez, écoutez.

Liberté, égalité, fraternité.

A revolution may yet stir

And peace may yet be achieved
One for every self.

But not yet.

For now, we remember.

For now, we rest.

When we stand as one

There will be a reckoning.

The world’s most
extraordinary failure
never gave up.
Thank goodness.
