london workshop cast 2018 – man was born free lyrics
[jean+jacques rousseau]
man was born free, but everywhere you see he’s in chains
[fairness]
living under monarchy, the captive of a tyrant who reigns
[rousseau]
we’ve got to break the shackles tying us down
[fairness]
and claim our natural freedom from an old crown
[rousseau + fairness]
man was born free, but everywhere you see he’s in chains
[rousseau]
when a king has all the power, the people live in slavery
(uh+huh, uh+huh, huh+huh)
[fairness]
he takes away everything, even their desire to be free
[rousseau]
no one can pretend he has a birthright
to force another by the sword to bow to might
[rousseau + fairness]
for man to be a man, it’s time to free him of his chains
[rousseau]
listen to the general will
(uh+huh)
the voice cries out in the name of the people, until
[fairness]
they live in a republic, everyone is equally free
[rousseau]
we’ll make it there together
mon cheri
[spoken]
baby, you’re the sovereign of my ideal world
[fairness]
i am?
[rousseau]
so long as we put the chains on ourselves, then, mon cheri, we will be free!
[fairness]
free me, jean+jacques!
[rousseau]
oh, you bet i will!
[sung]
assemble all the people, ask them what the law should be
(uh+huh, uh+huh, uh+huh)
land into their interests, they answer with the truth they see
the answer they converge on is the general will
it’s always right
[fairness]
so you can bet your ass we will
obey the people when they speak
hey, it’s a democracy
[john rawls]
well, not technically. i teach this course, and+
[rousseau]
if i make a law for you
[fairness]
then the same one binds you too
(uh+huh, uh+huh, uh+huh)
[rousseau]
i can get away with making it oppressive for you
if what i give is what i get, i’m doubly free
[fairness]
you’re living in a system of equality
[rousseau]
man is now free
[rousseau + fairness]
he owes it to the general will
don’t resist the general will
the voice cries out in the name of the people until
[fairness]
they live in a republic, everyone is equally free
[rousseau]
we’ll make it there together
[fairness]
we’ll make it there together
[rousseau + fairness]
we’ll make it there together
mon cheri
