Look down, look down Don't look 'em in the eye Look down, look down You're here until you die The sun is strong It's hot as hell below Look down, look down There's 20 years to go I've done no wrong Sweet Jesus hear my prayer Look down, look down Sweet Jesus doesn't care I know she'll wait I know that she'll be true Look down, look down They've all forgotten you When I get free, ya won't see me Here for dust Look down, look down Don't look 'em in the eye How long, O Lord Before you let me die? Look down, look down You'll always be a slave Look down, look down You're standing in your grave Now bring me prisoner 24601 Your time is up and your parole's begun You know what that means Yes, it means I'm free No It means you get your yellow ticket of leave You are a thief I stole a loaf of bread You robbed a house I broke a window pane My sister's child was close to death And we were starving You'll starve again Unless you learn the meaning of the law I know the meaning of those 19 years A slave, of the law Five years for what you did The rest because you tried to run Yes, 24601 My name is Jean Valjean And I'm Javert Do not forget my name Do not forget me, 24601 Look down, look down You'll always be a slave Look down, look down You're standing in your grave
