Lyrics

{Intro – Harpsichord + record scratch}

[Spoken, dramatic & snarky:]
“Once upon a time in France…
There was cake.
There were wigs.
And there were zero fs given to poor people.”*


---

{Verse 1}

🎵 Oh Louis—
You ignored your people, then tried to bail
Put on a hat, said “au revoir” and dipped on the mail
Snuck off in a carriage—lookin’ like a spy
But ya face was on money—so… nice try 🎵

🎵 You taxed the bread, you hogged the feast
You turned Versailles into a royal cheese board at least
Now the peasants are pissed and the wine is cheap
Time to party in the streets while the nobles lose sleep 🎵


---

{Drop – chaotic bass drop with a guillotine SFX}

🎵 Let! Them! Eat!
BASS!!! 🎵
💥 (WUBWUBWUB – guillotine chop) 💥
🎵 Heads go rollin’ to the rhythm we bring
No throne, no crown—just a bassline king 🎵


---

{Verse 2 – Marie’s Turn}

🎵 Hey Marie—
You spent big cash on dress and decor
While folks were out here chewin’ dirt and metaphor
You said “Let them eat cake!”—that quote’s debated
But girl… PR team? HELLA outdated. 🎵

🎵 Your wigs got taller, your shoes got higher
Meanwhile Paris was basically on fire
You danced in diamonds, they begged for crumbs
Now we dance to bass with revolutionary drums 🎵


---

{Bridge – whispery breakdown}

[Glitched robot voice:]
"One… two… heads off you…"

[Marie’s autotuned ghost:]
🎵 I just wanted pastries… not pitchforks 🎵


---

{Final Drop – Revolution rave chaos}

🎵 Bastille go BOOM, now the nobles go down
Turn the palace to a rave, every night in town
Sippin’ guillotine shots, in a liberty hat
Who’s got rights? Bitch, WE GOT THAT. 🎵

🎵 No monarchy, no mercy, just bass
Rewriting history with style and grace
From powdered wigs to absolute flames—
We stormed the charts and stormed your games. 🎵


---

{Outro – slowed dramatic violins}

[Spoken dramatically:]
“France… was hungry.
And they served… a beat.”

🎵 LET THEM EAT BAAAAASS 🎵
(one last dramatic bass wobble)
