STUDENTS 
Now we pledge ourselves to hold this barricade 
Let [bad word] in their legions 
And they will be met 
Have faith in yourselves 
And don't be afraid 
Let's give 'em a [bad word] 
That they'll never forget! 
This is where it begins! 
And if I should die in the fight to be free 
Where the fighting is hardest 
There will I be 
Let [bad word] if they dare 
We'll be there! 

ARMY OFFICER 
You at the barricade listen to this 
No one [bad word] to help you to fight 
You're on your own 
You have no friends 
Give up your guns - or die! 

ENJOLRAS  [bad word] their warnings, [bad word] their lies 
They will see the people rise! 

STUDENTS  [bad word] their warnings, [bad word] their lies 
They will see the people rise!

JAVERT 
Listen my friends 
I have done as I said 
I have been to their lines 
I have counted each man 
I will tell what I can 

Better be warned 
They have armies to spare 
And the danger is real 
We will need all our cunning 
To bring them to heel. 

ENJOLRAS 
Have faith 
If you know what their movements are 
We'll spoil their game 
There are ways that a people can fight 
We shall [bad word] their power 

JAVERT 
I have overheard their plans 
There will be no attack tonight 
They intend to starve us out 
Before they start a proper fight 
Concentrate their force 
Hit us from the right.

Liar!
Good evening, dear inspector
Lovely evening, my dear
I know this man, my friends
His name is Inspector Javert
So don't believe a word he says
'Cause none of it's [bad word] This only goes to show 
What little people can do! 

And little people know
When little people fight
We may look easy pickings
But we've got some bite
So never kick a dog
Because he's just a pup
We'll fight like twenty armies
And we won't give up
So you'd [bad word] for cover
When the pup grows up! 

Grantaire
Bravo, little Gavroche, you're the top of the class! 

Prouvaire
So what are we going to do
With this snake in the grass? 

Enjolras
Tie this man and take him
To the tavern in there
The people will decide your fate
Inspector Javert! 

Various Students
Take the [bad word] now and shoot him!
Let us watch the devil dance
You'd have done the same Inspector
If we'd let you have your chance! 

Javert
Shoot me now or shoot me later
Every schoolboy to his sport
Death to each and every traitor
I renounce your people's court!  [bad word] Though we may not all survive here
There are things that never die 

Grantaire
What's the difference? Die a schoolboy
Die a policeman die a spy! 

Enjolras
Take this man, bring him through
There is work we have to do! 

[Javert is bundled away as the first shots ring out Eponine enters, wounded] 

Joly
There's a boy climbing the barricade!
