JERRY CRUNCHER: The carts rode into the square with all those who would die by the guillotine that morning and there, in the last cart, was poor Sydney Carton. They unloaded the prisoners and herded them into a long line of the condemned. I moved a bit closer and I could hear them talking. A poor young seamstress, who was crying, was comforted by Mr. Carton. She looked up at him and realized that Mr. Sydney Carton was not Mr. Charles Darnay Saint Evrémonde and she asked him, “Are you dying for him?” Mr. Carton replied, “for his wife and child.” She then kissed Sydney on the forehead and walked calmly to the guillotine and her death. And finally, Sydney Carton slowly climbed up on the first step towards the blade.

EVERYONE'S TALKING
SAYING WE'RE THE FOOLS
WE'RE TAKING OUR CHANCES
WITH OUR OWN SET OF RULES
WELL I'VE NOTICED SOMETHING
THAT I NEVER COULD SEE
WHEN YOU'RE HIDING FROM CHANGES
YOU LOSE THE NEED FOR EQUALITY
(CHORUS)
FREEDOM, FREEDOM
WE NEED THE RIGHT
TO PICK AND CHOOSE
FREEDOM, FREEDOM
IT'S UP TO US
IF WE WIN OR LOSE
(ERNEST DEFARGE)
SOMEDAY WE'LL WAKE UP
OUT OF THIS DREAM
A NEW SITUATION
A WHOLE NEW BELIEF
WE’RE DAMNED IF WE DO
DAMNED IF WE DON'T
BUT ILL BE DAMNED IF I KEEP ON RUNNING
LIKE A FOX IN THE HUNT FOR...
(CHORUS)
FREEDOM, FREEDOM
WE NEED THE RIGHT
TO PICK AND CHOOSE
FREEDOM, FREEDOM
IT'S UP TO US
IF WE WIN OR LOSE
(INSTRUMENTAL)
(SYDNEY CARTON)
IT'S A FAR, FAR BETTER THING THAT I DO
THAN I HAVE EVER DONE
IT'S A FAR, FAR BETTER REST I GO TO
THAN I HAVE EVER KNOWN
FREEDOM
(SYDNEY CARTON & ERNEST DEFARGE & CAST)
FREEDOM, FREEDOM
