Levellers

The year is 1991
Seems our freedom is dead and gone
The power of the rich is held by few
Keep the young ones paralysed,
Educated by your lies
Keep the old ones happy with the news
Tell the singer not to sing this song
Tell the poet that she?s wrong
In the court you?ll win the case with lies
Coz you sold them down the river
Chorus
Do I belong to an ancient race
I like to walk in ancient places
These are things that I can?t understand
I do believe in your modern ways
Don?t care about the things you say
Your policies have failed the test of time
Coz you sold them down the river
Verse 2
In a land not far away
There are many prisoners coz they say
The colour of your skin is not the question
Did you rally to their side
Na you sat back and let them die
Don?t know how you get to sleep tonight
Tonight
Chorus
Bridge
Your money market goes round and round
Pound goes up the dollar goes down
Another south American forest cut down
Need your pound for your new town
You get scared when the boy comes down
Can?t you tell me where it is we are bound
Chorus
