Paris / Look Down

歌詞

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! 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 There was a time we killed the king We tried to change the world too fast Now we have got aother 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 Viva la france ! Viva 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, it'll come Where 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? Before the barricades arise?
