PRISONERS 
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 [bad word] below 
Look down, look down, 
There's twenty 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 [bad word]  
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 

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! 
It means you get 
Your yellow ticket-of-leave 
You are a thief 

VALJEAN 
I stole a loaf of bread! 

JAVERT 
You robbed a house! 

VALJEAN 
I broke a window pane! 
My sister's child was close to death 
And we were starving! 

JAVERT 
And you will starve again 
Unless you learn the meaning of the law. 

VALJEAN 
I know the meaning of these 19 years 
slave of the law 

JAVERT 
Five years for what you did 
The rest because you tried [bad word] 
Yes 24601 

VALJEAN 
My name is Jean Valjean 

JAVERT 
And I am Javert 
Do not forget my name 
Do not forget me 
24601
