Paris / Look Down

Look down and see the beggers at your feet
look down and show some mercy if you can
look down and see the slavents of the streets
Look down, look down upon your fell ow man
(GARVOCHE)
How do you do, my name's Garvoche these are my people here's my patch
not much to look at nothin' posh nothing that you'd call up to scratch
this is my school my high society down in the slums of saint Michel
we live on crumbs of high peity tough on the teeth but what the hell?
Think you're poor?
Think you're free?
Follow me, follow me!
(BEGGERS)
look down and show some mercy if you can
look down look down upon you're fellow man
(Garvoche)
There was a time we killed the king,
we tried to change the world too fast
Now we've got another king, he's no better than the last
This is the land that fought for liberty now when we fight we fight for bread
Here is the thing about equality everyone's equal when they're dead
Take your place, Take your chance
Vive la france, VIVE LA FRANCE
(Crowd)

look down and show some mercy if you can
look down look down upon you're fellow man
when's this gonna end, when we gonna live somthing's gotta happen now somthing's gotta give
It'll come, it'll come, it'll come, it'll come, it'll come
(ENJOLAS)
Where are the leader's of the land?
Where is the King who run's this show?
(MARIUS)
Only one man, General Lamarque, speaks for the people here below
(Enjolas)
Lamarque is ill and fading fast, won't last a week out, so they say
(Marius)
With all the anger in the land, How long before the jugment day?
(Enjolas)
Before we cut the fat ones down to size
(ALL)
Before the barricades arise!
VIVE LA FRANCE, VIVE LA FRANCE, VIVE LA FRANCE, VIVE LA FRANCE!
