But we need some new lyrics, which refer to something more contemporary than the (failed) Paris uprising of 1832.
Let's see...
“Do you hear the people sing?
It is the song of angry men!
It is the music of the people
Who will not be fooled again!
When the beating of the drums
Echoes the beating of your heart,
Then when November comes
There is a new day about to start...”
...and so on. We don't need any verses about “the blood of the martyrs will water the fields of France...” That's just a paraphrase of “Marseillaise”, which has a line about “the blood of the invaders watering the fields...” We have our own body of patriotic verse to use for inspiration for words to this stirring music.
Revolutions are not started by the common people. But certain pivotal events rouse them to join the cause in righteous indignation. Hillary's insult of Trump's supporters is such an event.
When I visited Dublin a few years ago, someone suggested I visit Kilmainham Gaol (Jail), a gruesome 18th century jail where the leaders of the 1916 Easter Rising of the Irish Revolution were jailed and executed.
At first, I thought, visiting a jail isn't my idea of something to do on vacation. But I'm glad I went because the excellent guided tour closed my knowledge of the Irish Revolution, which I felt important as an Irish-American.
Interestingly enough, the Irish people were at first opposed to the rebels. But in the aftermath of the fighting, the cruelty of the British sparked the ultimate overthrow of British rule a few years later.
The story is explained very well by Elizabeth Covart on her history website:
They sent 13 to Kilmainham Gaol and 1 to Dublin Castle for medical treatment.
Between 3rd and 12th May, 1916, the British Army executed by firing squad the 14 leaders they had arrested.
Unable to stand up for his execution, the Army tied James Connolly, the wounded leader, to a chair before they shot him.
Likewise, Hillary's cruel and unjust "deplorables" comment has roused America's intelligent and uneducated rabble to raise their pitchforks.
What if there will soon be martyrs in the USA?
In fact, there already have been!
