dog eats dog

Les Misérables

Thénardier
Here s a hint of gold
Stuck into a tooth
Pardon me m sieur
You won t be needing this no more
Shouldn t be too hard to sell
Add it to the pile
Add it to the stock
Here among the sewer rats
A breath away from hell
You get accustomed to the smell

Well someone s got to clean em up, my friends
Bodies on the highway
Law and order upside down
Someone s got to collect their odds and ends
As a service to the town!

Here s a tasty ring
Pretty little thing
Wouldn t want to waste it
That would really be a crime
Thank you sir, I m in your debt
Here s another toy
Take it off the boy
His heart s no longer going
And he s lived his little time
But his watch is ticking yet!

Well, someone s got to clean them up, my friends
Before the little harvest
Disappears into the mud
Someone s got to collect their odds and ends
When the gutters run with blood

It s a world where the dog eats the dog
Where they kill for bones in the street
And God in his heaven
He don t interfere
Cause he s dead as the stiffs at my feet
I raise my eyes to see the heavens
And only the moon looks down
The harvest moon shines down!

Valjean
It s you, javert
I knew you wouldn t wait too long
The faithful servant at his post once more!
This man s done no wrong
And he needs a doctor s care

Javert
I warned you I would not give in
I won t be swayed

Valjean
Another hour yet
And then I m yours
And all our debts are paid

Javert
The man of mercy
Comes again
And talks of justice

Valjean
Come, time is running short
Look down, javert
He s standing in his grave
Give way, javert
There is a life to save

Javert
Take him valjean
Before I change my mind
I will be waiting
