Look Down (Live)

Look down and see the beggars at your feet

Look down and show some mercy if you can

Look down and see the sweeping of the streets

Look down, look down

Upon your fellow man

How 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

What you think you're at

Hanging round me pitch?

If you're new around here, girl

You've got a lot to learn

Listen you old bat

Crazy bloody witch

At least I give me customers

Some pleasure in return

I know what you give

You give 'em all the pox

Spread around your poison

Till they end up in a box

Leave the poor old cow

Move it Madeleine

She used to be no better till the clap got to her brain

When's is going to end?

When are we gonna live?

Something's gotta happen now or something's gotta give

It'll come, it'll come, it'll come, it'll come, it'll come

Where are the leaders of the land?

Where are the swells who run this show?

Only one man and that's Lamarque

Speaks for the people here below

See our children fed

Help us in our shame

Something for a crust of bread

In Holy Jesus' name

In the Lord's Holy name

In his name, in his name, in his name

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?

Look down and show some mercy if you can

Look down, look down upon your fellow man
