Текст песни First Attack - Les Misérables - 10th Anniversary Concert Cast

Here comes a man in uniform, what brings you to this place?
I come here as a volunteer (I'd look upon your face)
You wear an army uniform (that's why they let me through)
You've got some years behind you, sir (there's much that I can do)
You see that prisoner over there?

A volunteer like you
A spy who calls himself Javert
He's gonna get it too
They're getting ready to attack (take this and use it well)
But if you shoot us in the back, you'll never live to tell
Platoon of sappers advancing toward the barricade
Troops behind them, 50 men or more
Fire

See how they run away? By God, we've won the day
They will be back again, make an attack again
For your presence of mind, for the deed you have done
I will thank you, M'sieur, when our battle is won
Give me no thanks, M'sieur, there's something you can do
If it is in my power

Give me the spy, Javert, let me take care of him
The law is inside out, the world is upside down
Do what you have to do, this man belongs to you
The enemy may be regrouping, hold yourselves in readiness
Come on, my friends, back to your positions
The night is falling fast
