Look Down

Look down, look down
Don't look 'em in the eye
Look down, look down
You're here until you die
Now prisoner 24601
Your time is up and your parole's begun
You know what that means
Yes, it means I'm free
No
Follow to the letter your itinerary
This badge of shame you'll show until you die
It warns you're a dangerous man
I stole a loaf of bread
My sister's child was close to death
We were starving
You will 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 am 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
