Les Misérables (Look Down)

Look down and see the beggars at your feet! Look down and show some mercy if you can! Look down and see the sweepings of the street! Look down, look down,upon your fellow man! 'Ow do you do? My name's gavroche! These are my people,here's my patch. Not much to look at-- nothing posh! Nothing that you'd call up to scratch. This is my school,my high society! Here in the slums of st Michel. We live on crumbs of humble piety. Tough on the teeth-but what the hell! Think you're poor? Think you're free? Follow me! Follow me! Look down and show some mercy if you can! Look down, look down,upon your fellow man! There was a time we killed the king. We tried to change the world too fast. Now we have got another king, he is 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! Look down and show some mercy if you can! Look down, look down,upon your fellow man! when's it gonna end? when we gonna live? something's gotta happen now! something's gotta give! It'll come, it'll come, it'll come. Where are the leaders of the land? Where is the king who runs this show? Only one man, general lamarque. Speaks for the people here below! Lamarque is ill and fading fast won't last a week out, so they say. With all the anger in the land, how long before the judgment day? Before we cut the fat ones down to size? -death to the king! -liberty for all!
