Les Miserables -

[yorkiemommie1]

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!!!

1. There is always more misery among the lower classes

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

Victor Hugo, 'Les Miserables,' 1862

Very a propos what you wrote... thanks

2. I absolutely love that music.

I think I will put in that CD now. It seem very appropriate.
