The easy, fast & fun way to learn how to sing: 30DaySinger.com
Privilege from birth, abhorrence of work, obsessed with sovereignty Aristocrats claim an exemption from the standards of democracy A secret antipathy to justice and equality And a tightly constrained definition of who is free Old regime, smoke of history Liberty still wafting in the breeze The new aristocracy just smells like the old regime (whoa) They think that they can alter and sway which version of freedom reigns If everything is subjective then what good is truth anyway? A plutocratic strategy or technocrat conspiracy Or a vision of utopia that only the besotten can see? Old regime, smoke of history Liberty still wafting in the breeze The new aristocracy just smells like the old regime An unabated tendency to tyranny is still in place And the ancient nobility's complexion differs just in name Old regime, smoke of history Liberty still wafting in the breeze A new season dawns with ominous prophecy Yeah, the new aristocracy just smells like the old regime
