At The End Of The Day

[00:37.17] At the end of the day you're another day older
[00:40.90] And that's all you can say for the life of the poor
[00:44.11] It's a struggle, it's a war
[00:45.81] And there's nothing that anyone's giving
[00:47.82] One more day, standing about, what is it for?
[00:52.00] One day less to be living
[00:54.84] At the end of the day you're another day colder
[00:58.22] And the shirt on your back doesn't keep out the chill
[01:01.61] And the righteous hurry past
[01:03.26] They don't hear the little ones crying
[01:05.39] And the winter is coming on fast, ready to kill
[01:09.45] One day nearer to dying
[01:12.24] At the end of the day there's another day dawning
[01:15.84] And the sun in the morning is waiting to rise
[01:19.13] Like the waves crash on the sand
[01:20.62] Like a storm that'll break any second
[01:22.50] There's a hunger in the land
[01:24.28] There's a reckoning still to be reckoned
[01:26.21] And there's gonna be hell to pay
[01:29.39] At the end of the day
[01:32.32] At the end of the day you get nothing but nothing
[01:35.90] Sitting flat on your butt doesn't buy any bread
[01:39.27] There are children back at home
[01:41.04] And the children have got to be fed
[01:42.94] And you're lucky to be in a job
[01:44.87] And in a bed
[01:47.38] And we're counting our blessings!
[01:51.99] Have you seen how the foreman is fuming today?
[01:55.64] With his terrible breath and his wandering hands?
[01:59.32] It's because little Fantine won't give him his way
[02:01.36] Take a look at his trousers, you'll see where he stands!
[02:04.65] And the boss, he never knows
[02:06.60] That the foreman is always in heat
[02:08.32] If Fantine doesn't look out, watch how she goes
[02:12.83] She'll be out on the street
[02:15.69] At the end of the day it's another day over
[02:19.47] With enough in your pocket to last for a week
[02:22.58] Pay the landlord, pay the shop
[02:24.20] Keep on grafting as long as you're able
[02:26.01] Keep on grafting 'til you drop
[02:27.93] Or it's back to the crumbs on the table
[02:29.97] You've got to pay your way
[02:33.16] At the end of the day!
[02:37.93] And what have we here, little innocent sister?
[02:41.97] Come on Fantine, let's have all the news!
[02:45.58] "Dear Fantine, you must send us more money
[02:47.30] Your child needs a doctor,
[02:48.58] There's no time to lose"
[02:54.26] What is this shouting all about?
[02:56.28] Will someone tear these two apart
[02:58.24] This is a factory, not a circus
[03:01.95] Now come on ladies, settle down
[03:05.85] I run a business of repute
[03:07.64] I am the Mayor of this town
[03:10.84] I look to you to sort this out
[03:12.90] And be as patient as you can
[03:14.37] Now someone say how this began
[03:18.39] At the end of the day she's the one who began it
[03:22.26] There's a kid that she's hiding in some little town
[03:25.61] There's a man she has to pay
[03:27.08] You can guess how she picks up the extra
[03:29.24] You can bet she's earning her keep sleeping around
[03:33.32] And the boss wouldn't like it
[03:36.53] It is true there's a child and the child is my daughter
[03:40.31] And her father abandoned us leaving us flat
[03:43.90] Now she lives with an innkeeper man and his wife
[03:46.12] And I pay for the child
[03:47.27] What's the matter with that?
[03:49.70] At the end of the day she'll be nothing but trouble
[03:53.16] And there's trouble for all when there's trouble for one
[03:56.82] While we're earning our daily bread
[03:58.25] She's the one with her hands in the butter
[04:00.17] You must send the slut away
[04:01.88] Or we're all gonna end in the gutter
[04:03.86] And it's us who'll have to pay
[04:07.34] At the end of the day
[04:08.73] I might have known the bitch could bite
[04:10.48] I might have known the cat had claws
[04:12.27] I might have guessed your little secret
[04:15.94] Ah, yes, the virtuous Fantine
[04:19.48] Who keeps herself so pure and clean
[04:21.36] You'd be the cause I had no doubt
[04:23.62] Of any trouble hereabout
[04:26.03] You play a virgin in the light
[04:27.54] But need no urgin' in the night
[04:29.51] She's been laughing at you
[04:30.38] While she's having her men
[04:31.29] (She'll be nothing but trouble again and again)
[04:32.91] You must sack her today
[04:33.69] (Sack the girl today)
[04:36.64] Right, my girl
[04:38.34] On your way!
