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
 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 St. 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 at?
 Hanging around me pitch?
 If you're new around here, girl
 You've got a lot to learn
 Listen you old bat
 Crazy, bloody witch
 'Least I give me customers some pleasure in return
 I know what you give
 Give 'em all the pox
 Spread around your poison
 Till they end up in a box
 Leave the poor, old crow
 Move it, Madeleine
 She used to be no better
 Till the clap got to her brain
 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 are the leaders of the land?
 Where are the swells who run this show?
 Only one man and that's Lamarque
 Speaks for these 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
