Levellers ? Sell out
Verse 1
AmThe year is 1C991
GSeems our freedom is Ddead and gone
AmThe power of the Crich is held by Gfew
AmKeep the young ones Cparalysed,
GEducated Dby your lies
AmKeep the old ones Chappy with the Gnews
AmTell the singer not to Csing this song
GTell the poet that Dshe?s wrong
AmIn the court you?ll Cwin the case with Glies
Coz you sold them down the river
Chorus
AmDo I belong to an Cancient race
GI like to walk in Dancient places
AmThese are things that CI can?t underGstand
AmI do believe in your Cmodern ways
GDon?t care about the Dthings you say
Your Ampolicies have Cfailed the test of Gtime
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
AmYour money market goes Cround and Dround
AmPound goes up the dollar goes CdownD  
AmAnother south American forest Ccut Ddown
AmNeed your pound for your new CtownD  
AmYou get scared when the boy Ccomes Ddown
AmCan?t you tell me where Cit is Dwe are bound
Chorus
