Alter Marseillaise

I proudly sang the Marseillaise in (july of) 1998.
I proudly sang the blood in peace time, is everything alright?

Patriotism is still considered as a state value, honorable stuff.
We still sing the song that justified
Napoleonic wars and empire and colonialsim.

I do keep my ID
And for sure I'm proud of what we are !

Aren't we meant to fight for ideas, for a real cause?
Instead of a blind concept of nation...
These ideas put us down, and don't put up,
They put us down, down, down.

(You're fucking dumb!)
How could I have sung such a song in 98 ?
