Paris / Look Down

Come on boys Yeah Come on 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 saint michele 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 He tried to change the world to fast Now we have got another king He's no better than the last This is the land that I fought for liberty Now when we fight we fight for bread Who is the thing about equality If e'ry one'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 or Something's gonna give It'll come, it'll come, it'll come It'll come, it'll come Where the leaders of the land? Where is the king who run this show? Only one man - general lamarque Speaks for these people here below Lamarque is ill and fading fast! Won't last the week out, so they say With all the anger in the land How long before the judgement day? Before we cut the fat ones down to size? Before the barricades arise? Vive la france! vive la france! Vive la france! vive la france! vive la france!
