    Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose

    There's somethin' happenin' here

    What it is ain't exactly clear

    There's a man with a gun over there

    Tellin' me I got to beware

    (I think it's time we)

    Stop, children, what's that sound?

    Everybody look what's goin' down

    There's battle lines bein' drawn

    Nobody's right if everybody's wrong

    Young people speakin' their minds

    Gettin' so much resistance from behind

    (It's time we)

    Stop, hey, what's that sound?

    Everybody look what's goin' down.

    [...]
