Prisoners
Look down, look down
Don't look 'em in the eye
Look down, look down
You're here until you die
Javert
Now bring me prisoner 24601
Your time is up
And your parole's begun
You know what that means.
Valjean:
Yes, it means I'm free.
Javert
No!
Follow to the letter your itinerary
This badge of shame you wear until you die
It warns that you're a dangerous man
Jean Valjean
I stole a loaf of bread
My sisters child was close to death
And we were starving...
Javert
And you will starve again unless you learn the meaning of the law!
Jean Valjean
I've learnt the meaning of those nineteen years
A slave of the law
Javert
Five years for what you did
The rest because you tried to run
Yes 24601
Jean Valjean
My name is Jean Valjean!
Javert
And I'm Javert!
Do not forget my name
Do not forget me,
24601.
Prisoners
Look down, look down
You'll always be a slave
Look down, look down
You're standing in your grave
