Well, hello and welcome again! This next little number was inspired by my friend, who, ahem: is very very fond of the musical Hairspray. Well, not so much suggested as forced, since the reason I made it was that she got this next song stuck in my head…Enjoy!
Disclaimer: I don't own Les Mis or whoever created Hairspray…(sob)
You Can't Stop the Fight
National Guard
You can't stop the National Guard
As they climb on up the hill!

Les Amis
You can try to stop the people's voice
But you know you never will!
And you can try to stop our passionate hearts
But we're full of rebellious will!

The world keeps spinning round and round…

Now she's gone away! (sob)
Les Amis (shrug)
And you can't stop the fight!
Gavroche
Ever since my whole life began
I found that if I shot well
I could shoot up a can!
And so I'm gonna aim and shoot well
The best that I can toda-a-ay!
Les Amis
Cause you can't stop the fighting of the iabaissed/b
When you make 'em all cry!

You're a cruel and unjust government!
Don't ya dare ask us why!

And if ya try to hold us down
We're gonna spit in your eye and sa-a-ay

Gavroche
You can't stop a gamin
As he runs into the street!

We're not really against women's rights…
But anyway!
You can't stop the fighting of the abaissed
Valjean
Or the word from above!
Enjolras
You can try to stop the new world we've been
Dreaming of
But you cannot stop the people when they've had enough toda-a-ay!
Cause you can't stop the fight!
Grantaire (on floor)(slurred)
I can't stop my addiction
So, (unintelligible phra-ase…)
And I just cannot stop myself
When I see a jug o' wine! (hic)
And if they're trying for a rebellion
Well I couldn't give a d!
And the world's still spinnin' round and round!
Joly
My cochleas are damaged by the banging sound!

You're a cruel and unjust government!
Don't ya dare ask us why!

And if ya try to hold us down
We're gonna spit in your eye and sa-a-ay
That you can't stop the fight!
(get all somber and depressing)
Oh, oh, oh,
We can't stop our deaths
As they loom in the near future…
(happy again)
But tomorrow we'll be history
Of that we're very sure!
Cause tomorrow is a brand new world
And we'll see the government crack!

Ever since I first saw the sun
People've had to steal bread when the day is done! (shifty eyes)

But now we're gonna fight for all of
Our freedom today!
