Creeque Allies Songtext
von Everybody Was in the French Resistance… Now!

When the Nazis marched on Paris
The French were quite embarrassed
I think you know what I mean
So the angry got together
To circulate a letter
To bring down the Vichy regime

A few months later
An underground paper
Called [Defense de la France]
Had ten thousand circulation
All across the nation
To spread their intelligence

You have to be of strong body and mind
Ready to leave your friends behind
Everybody was in the French resistance now


Pierre-Georges Fabien
At the metro station
Decided there was no going back
He was determined
Assassinated a German
The first French resistance attack

Joseph Epstein
And his gang of fifteen
Oh, man, they really knew where it was at
Policemen can′t be trusted
Called them maladjusted
But they were just taking France back

You have to be of strong body and mind
Ready to leave your friends behind
Everybody was in the French resistance now

The Nazi occupation
Was an awkward situation
Still, in 1942
Jean Bruller
Wrote [Le Silence de la Mer]
That told you exactly what to do


Jean Moulin
Said "Hey, guys, come on"
And united all the resistance groups
And in 1943
[Civilians maquis]
Fought alongside Allied troops

You have to be of sound body and mind
Ready to leave your friends behind
Everybody was in the French resistance now

The Free Frenches
Were waiting in the trenches
Listening to their radios
For coded information
From the Allied nations
Giving them the word to go

"The carrots are cooked"
[Les carottes sont cuites]
"The dice have been thrown"
[Les dés sont jetés]

"The carrots are cooked"
[Les carottes sont cuites]
"The dice have been thrown"
[Les dés sont jetés]

You have to be of strong body and mind
Ready to leave your friends behind
Everybody was in the French resistance
Everybody was in the French resistance
Everybody was in the French resistance now
