Dog Eats Dog Lyrics - Alain Boublil

"Thenardier: 

here's a hint of gold 

stuck into a tooth 

pardon me mieseur 

you won't be needing it no more 

shouldn't be too hard to sell 

add it to the pile 

add it to the stack 

here among the sewer rats 

a breath away from hell 

you get accustomed to the smell 

well someone's got to clean them 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 a little 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 dog 

and they kill for the 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
