By Alain Boublil and Claude-Michel Schonberg Lyrics by Herbert Kretzmer Based on the book by Victor Hugo
....Valjean I stole a loaf of bread!
Javert You robbed a house!
Valjean I broke a window pane! My sister's child was close to death And we were starving!
Javert And you will starve again Unless you learn the meaning of the law. .....
....At the end of the day you're another day colder And the shirt on your back doesn't keep out the chill And the righteous hurry past They don't hear the little ones crying And the winter is coming on fast, ready to kill One day nearer to dying! At the end of the day there's another day dawning And the sun in the morning is waiting to rise Like the waves crash on the sand Like a storm that'll break any second There's a hunger in the land There's a reckoning still to be reckoned And there's gonna be hell to pay At the end of the day!
......
Do you hear the people sing? Singing a song of angry men? It is the music of a people Who will not be slaves again! ......
---
No more enslavement to corporate neocons!!!

There is always more misery among the lower classes than there is humanity in the higher.
