[Verse 1]
Fools, we all know the sound of a bomb as it goes off inside our minds
Take a look, it's viral, no denial
Je suis Charlie but we're still not free
Taking aim at those that we blame
The fighting of fire with fire all in the name of peace
Equipped with a gun
All is forgiven but even this killin'?
[Pre-Chorus]
All done without remorse
All done in the name of God of course
Just a drawing but red blood drawn
After this our thoughts will be outlawed
[Chorus]
I am Charlie
And I can see
That you are Charlie
[Verse 2]
Freely, speak what you feel
It's your right and the law and your voice that will make the appeal
Otherwise it's a jail
A world where cowards police what we say
Just as well, lay down and die
Cow-tow like Sony the corporate phony
Spineless cronies that don't feel the shame
Of bowing down to a hacker's game
[Pre-Chorus]
All done without remorse
All done in the name of God of course
Just a drawing but red blood drawn
After this our thoughts will be outlawed
At the core we all mesh
Innocents have died in vain
For a piece of paper with a funny name
[Chorus]
I am Charlie
And I can see
That you are Charlie
I am Charlie
And so is she
We are Charlie
[Verse 3]
War of the words, beware of the minds
Witness the cost, your religions are blind
Twelve then one then four are dead
Before the killers are finally bled
[Chorus]
I am Charlie
And I can see
That you are Charlie
I am Charlie
And so is she
We are Charlie
I am Charlie
And I can see
We are Charlie
But we're still not free
