The first step towards change is awareness. The second is acceptance.

"The rich variety of cultures & nationalities is part of the way mans existence expresses the beauty of God in whose image we are made. Satan desires to destroy these differences reduce us to a meaningless whole in a false unity that only denies the dignity of man" - Father Spyridon Bailey

Story behind the song

For many in the UK the creeping hand of authoritarianism has led to comparisons with the Vichy regime in France during WW2.
The French Resistance along with other resistance movements in Europe are a reminder of hope and courage to us all in testing times.

Lyrics

Its like living in Vichy France
not merely circumstance
in spite of the sycophants
"C'est vive la resistance"

Never trust the police
pretend to keep the peace
collaborators never cease
"Les disparus" will just increase

Its like living in Vichy France
not merely circumstance
in spite of the sycophants
"C'est vive la resistance"

passive resistance if you must
its all a question of trust
"votre carte identité"
its your digital ID

Its like living in Vichy France
not merely circumstance
in spite of the sycophants
"C'est vive la resistance"

Your friends close, enemies closer
main stream media brown noser
authoritarian bull dozer
national identity decomposer

Its like living in Vichy France
not merely circumstance
in spite of the sycophants
"C'est vive la resistance"

Its like living in Vichy France
not merely circumstance
in spite of the sycophants
"C'est vive la resistance"
