Never Give an Inch *by HK & les Saltimbanks* *From the bottom of my urban project Deep into your countryside The reality has changed And the revolt is brewing everywhere*
*In this world there was no place for us We didn't look the part We were not to the manor born Not on daddy's plastic* *The homeless, the unemployed, workers Farmers, immigrants, the undocumented They wanted to divide us And to say they succeeded* *As long as it was every man for himself Their system could prosper But one day we had to wake up The heads had to roll* *We'll never give an inch* *They told us about equality And like fools we believed them "Democracy" makes me laugh If we had had it we would have known it* *What's the worth of our votes Up against the law of the market? They say "my dear fellow countrymen" But we're fucked all the same* *And what's the worth of human rights Up against the airbus sale? The bottom line, there's only one law, in sum: "Sell yourself more to sell more."* *The republic is a whore Walking the street of dictators We no longer believe Their beautiful words Our leaders are liars* *We'll never give an inch* *So stupid, so trite, To speak of peace and brotherhood When the homeless are dying in the streets And the undocumented are being driven out* *Crumbs are thrown to proles That's just in the history of the silent They don't attack millionaire bosses "Too important for our society"* *It's crazy the way they are protected All our rich and powerful Not to mention the help they get For being the friends of the president* *Dear comrades, dear "voters" Dear "citizen-consumers" The alarm is ringing It's time To reset to zero* *As long as there's struggle and hope As long as there's life and battle As long as we're fighting, we're standing Here's the key We're standing, we won't give an inch* *The passion for victory runs in our blood Now you know why we are fighting Our ideal, more than a dream Another world, we have no choice* *We'll never give an inch* ------------------------------ "On lâche rien," <http://www.facebook.com/note.php?note_id=272816240781> a song by HK & les Saltimbanks <http://www.saltimbanques.fr/> (Kadour Haddadi<http://hk-le-saltimbank.over-blog.com/>and his band), has been adopted by French workers on strike against the Sarkozy-Woerth plan to raise the retirement age.
