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 Défense de la France
Had 10,000 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 15
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 McKee fought alongside allied troops

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

The free Frenches were waiting in the trenches
And 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

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
