Prompt: A Les Mis remix of "I'll make a man out of you" with Enjolras as Shang. The one-liners in the middle section belong to Joly, Courfeyrac, Combeferre, Jehan, Grantaire, and Marius respectively.
Let's get down to business
To resist the guard.
We're French so rebellion
Shouldn't be this hard.
You're the most complacent kids I know
But you can bet before we're through
That I'll make true comrades out of you.
Radiant as a flower
But true men of war
Once the people join us
You'll see what we're for
You're a cowering, scared, and hopeless lot
And you haven't got a prayer
Somehow I'll find rebellion in there.
(I think I'm getting short of breath
Who'll be left behind to woo me?
Boy, each bourgeoisie guy is a fool.
Let's face it, I'm scared of death.
Why does he talk ideals to me?
Now I really wish that I was back in school.)
Join the fight!
You must be canny like changing rivers
Join the fight!
You should be humble and never brag
Join the fight!
Hope for the future; for now we're raging
As unforgiving as the blackness of a flag.
Time moves on in progress
We will sacrifice
But a new world order
Shall bloom from that price.
You are suited for just blood and gore
So you'll have to see this through.
It looks like I'll make martyrs of you.
Join the fight!
You must be swift to defend the living
Join the fight!
They'll feel our force when we rise in June
Join the fight!
And build the barricade even higher
Be ready to stand tall though you'd rather swoon.
Join the fight!
We're here to lift Paris from the gutter
Join the fight!
Until the nation will feel our force
Join the fight!
You must be strong though the stakes are dire
The night may be dark, but day dawns in due course!
