Eric Cantona on the French Bank Run

Transcription and translation
Nantes 8th October 2010

I don’t believe that we can …. I don’t believe that we can be completely happy when we see poverty all around us. Or we’re living in a cocoon, sealed off from everything … but there is a possibility and something we can do Well, it annoys me a little that there going … oh it doesn’t really annoy me at all Today it’s important to defend ourselves
But today to go out into the streets, what’s that? Today to go out protesting in the streets – what’s that? They turn everything back against you.
Today it’s no longer the way we have to do things.
It’s great to speak of Revolution and taking up arms but you can’t go around killing people

The revolution is really simple to make. The System , what’s the System’s , the System’s built around the Banks …The System is built on the banks
So if you want to destroy the System you do it by taking down the banks
So instead of 3 Million people being in the street waving their thingys, these 3 million people should go to their bank and take their money out, then the banks collapse!

3 Million, 10 Million, 10 Million People, everyone, and then there’s a true threat, and then there’s a true revolution, a revolution should be against the banks, it’s not complicated. Instead of going on the street and doing kilometres in the car to get there, go to the bank, in your village and take your money out – and if loads of people take their money out the banks collapse – no weapons no blood nothing at all, just like Spadgeri (a guy who robbed a large bank through the tunnels one night), it’s not complicated , and then, they’re going have to listen to us differently, Unions… you have to help them with ideas sometimes!!!!

Prince & the Revolution 1999

Prince Revolution 1999

Here is an interesting track from Prince & the Revolution from 1999:


1999 (Keep Steppin’)

1999
Come on (Keep-keep steppin’)
Yeah y’all, let’s go (Keep steppin’)
How many y’all ready to get this party on? (Keep steppin’)
1999 and this is how we do it, look out (Keep keep)
Yo…

Armageddon is headin’, lethal rap weapon
1 9 9 9 people keep steppin’
Armageddon is headin’, lethal rap weapon
The time’s 2 close son, U better start checkin’ it
Armageddon is headin’, lethal rap weapon
1 9 9 9 people keep steppin’ (Come on)
Armageddon is headin’, lethal rap weapon (U know what, y’all?)
The time’s 2 close son, U better start checkin’ it (Yo, U know what?)

I make it hot like a toaster, roll like a coaster
Family mourn cuz they wanna see the dawn
Set as they sweat, feenin’ and drama
But not the kinda of drama 2 run ‘n tell your mama
Armageddon, headin’, mass destruction
Conjunction junction, what’s your function?
The war’s goin’ on inside while U lunchin’
Computers replaced U – take a reduction
U made a mistake boo but take a deduction
Your money is worthless, U’re hungry and nervous
U feel like I feel, that U don’t deserve this
Inside U learn this, get super deep-a
Heaven is inside and U’re the gatekeeper
Hell is inside and U’re the Grim Reaper
Livin’ costs more, dyin’ cost cheaper
Whatever U do son, don’t be a sleeper

CHORUS:
Armageddon is headin’, lethal rap weapon
1 9 9 9 people keep steppin’
Armageddon is headin’, lethal rap weapon
The time’s 2 close son, U better start checkin’
Armageddon is headin’, lethal rap weapon
1 9 9 9 people keep steppin’
Armageddon is headin’, lethal rap weapon
The time’s 2 close son, U better start checkin’

The truth, some people hear it, some people fear it
The truth, some people just won’t go near it
As sure as I’m me and the skies are blue
The truth is the key 2 unlock the true U
Ancient old, worth more than gold
Cannot be bought, cannot be sold
Cannot be pushed, cannot be lifted
And I’m tellin’ U, U gotta whole lot 2 deal with
In this world of all diverse
Like U used 2 talk proper but now U curse
The sun used 2 shine from day 2 day
Now the whole universe is filled with gray
No friends, children, family nor wife
And disrespect is the way of life
U wanna go, say no, don’t need no airfare
Just open your eyes and then U’re there (Keep steppin’)
And if U go, come right and exact
And remember, there’s no way back (Keep steppin’)
So close your eyes live ‘n hate and despise (Keep steppin’)
All those girls and all those guys (Keep steppin’)
Who told U, U never had stars in your eyes
This is your destiny, rise, uh!

CHORUS

(Keep-keep)
‘Luminati, y’all, move your body, y’all
(Keep steppin’)
‘Luminati, y’all, move your body, y’all
(Keep-keep keep steppin’)

If U know the truth then pass it on
If U know the truth then raise the roof
If U know the truth, pass it on
If U know the truth, raise the roof
If U know the truth, pass it on
If U know the truth, raise the roof
If U know the truth, pass it on
If U know the truth, raise the roof
Come on…

Armageddon is headin’, lethal rap weapon
1 9 9 9 people keep steppin’ (‘Luminati, y’all, move your body, y’all)
(Come on) (Keep steppin’) (Keep down)
Armageddon is headin’, lethal rap weapon
1 9 9 9 people keep steppin’ (Keep steppin’ {x2})
(‘Luminati, y’all, move your body, y’all) (Come on)
Armageddon is headin’, lethal rap weapon
1 9 9 9 people keep steppin’ (Keep steppin’)
(Keep steppin’) {x3}

Rosario Dawson 1999




Rosario Dawson 1999

In 1999, Dawson teamed up with Prince for the re-release of his 1980s hit “1999.” The new remixed version featured the actress in an introductory voice over, offering commentary on the state of the world in the year before the new millennium. The same year, she appeared in The Chemical Brothers’ video for the song “Out of Control” from the album Surrender. The video features the all-seeing eye.

1999 (Rosario)

Dear Diary,

Wednesday, 1999, night before Thanksgiving:
Wondering what the Holy Day…
I got a lot 2 be thankful 4
While my people’s catchin’ hell in the worst way
There’s as many black males and Latinos in jail
As there are in the streets, OK?
Is it my imagination or is there some deviation
From the part that God wanted us 2 play?
First of all, there’s the name “Christmas”
Which means, get this: “Send Christ away”
Now I just realize what I missed as spoken by the priests of old
We’re saying if the face of the true king was shown 2day
2 its foundations would shake the earth
And so the reason 4 the ganda and propa:
2 distort the king’s color and the date of his birth
Open your mind, there’s not much time

This is Rosario, 1999
