"Crash (1793)" lyrics
Cassondra James & Pablo David Laucerica Lyrics
(feat. Original Broadway Cast of The Queen Of Versailles)
(from "The Queen Of Versailles" soundtrack)
1793 — alas, we fear
Will not be our favorite year
It's been so long since I have seen Versailles
And now we've only time for a rather quick goodbye
Ah, but if you please before we must depart
Across the centuries, may we say this from the heart?
Congratulations to your American aristocracy
Unlike us, you've found a neat solution
You've found a way to fix what you like to call "democracy"
So you will never see a revolution
You've got your peasants thinking they're tomorrow's millionaires
And that your special privileges will somehow soon be theirs
No mob will storm your palaces, no blade across the throat for you
Instead, it seems your peasant class will all turn out to vote for you
So congratulations, one percent, on being oh-so-clever
And making sure that this time, the kingdom goes on forever
Goodbye...
