Soyez Réalistes, Demandez L'Impossible 

Life is for the living
Not for the dead
Life is for the living
That’s what I said

There’s beauty in the streets
Let it happen to you
Don’t be denied
After what you been through  

Soyez réalistes demandez l'impossible 

All your poets
Are shattered and mute
They’ve lived too long
Beneath the boot

Oh my brother
Don’t be denied
After all of
The tears you cried 

Soyez réalistes demandez l'impossible 

And if you should wonder  
Why it must be this way
Won’t you remember – remember –  
What we said today 

Ain’t no heaven
Behind the sun
Can save your soul
Like imagination

Oh my sisters
What you gonna do
Don’t be denied
After what you been through 

Soyez réalistes demandez l'impossible
