[00:19.02] I write to give word the war is over
[00:25.54] Send my cinders home to mother
[00:30.73] They gave me a medal for my valor
[00:37.14] Leaden trumpets spit the soot of power
[00:41.94] They say, "I'm on your side
[00:47.22] "When nobody is, 'cause nobody is
[00:52.81]
[00:55.59] "Come sit right here and sleep
[01:00.09] "While I slip poison in your ear"
[01:05.54]
[01:08.47] We are waiting on a telegram
[01:10.42] To give us news of the fall
[01:14.45] I am sorry to report
[01:15.82] Dear Paris is burning after all
[01:20.31] We have taken to the streets
[01:21.91] In open rejoice revolting
[01:25.52] We are dancing a black waltz
[01:28.04] Fair Paris is burning after all
[01:44.59]
[01:45.61] Enclosed in this letter there's a picture
[01:51.24] Black and white for your refrigerator
[01:56.70] Sticks and stones have made me smarter
[02:03.03] It's words that cut me under my armor
[02:07.92] They say, "I'm on your side
[02:13.22] "When nobody is, 'cause nobody is
[02:19.83]
[02:21.54] "Come sit right here and sleep
[02:26.25] "While I slip poison in your ear"
[02:31.74]
[02:34.32] We are waiting on a telegram
[02:36.67] To give us news of the fall
[02:40.41] I am sorry to report
[02:41.78] Dear Paris is burning after all
[02:46.35] We have taken to the streets
[02:48.12] In open rejoice revolting
[02:51.97] We are dancing a black waltz
[02:53.98] Fair Paris is burning after all
[03:12.24]
[03:15.67] Dance poor people, dance and drown
[03:19.90] Dance fair Paris to the ground
[03:24.33] Dance poor people, dance and drown
[03:28.66] Dance fair Paris, ashes now
[03:33.25] Dance poor people, dance and drown
[03:37.32] Dance fair Paris to the ground
[03:42.10] Dance poor people, dance and drown
[03:46.55] Dance fair Paris, ashes now
[03:51.23] Dance poor people, dance and drown
[03:55.23] Dance fair Paris to the ground
[03:59.88] Dance poor people, dance and drown
[04:04.06] Dance fair Paris, ashes now
