The Levellers

The Levellers were a political movement active during the Wars of the Three Kingdoms who were committed to popular sovereignty, extended suffrage, equality before the law and religious tolerance. The hallmark of Leveller thought was its populism, as shown by its emphasis on equal natural rights, and their practice of reaching the public through pamphlets, petitions and vocal appeals to the crowd.The Levellers came to prominence at the end of the First English Civil War (1642–1646) and were most influential before the start of the Second Civil War (1648–49). Leveller views and support were found in the populace of the City of London and in some regiments in the New Model Army. Their ideas were presented in their manifesto "Agreement of the People".

The year was 1991, it seems that freedom is dead and gone 
The power of the rich is held by few
Keep the young paralyzed, educated by your lies
Keep the old ones happy with the news

Tell the singer not to song his song
Tell the poet that she's wrong
And in the courts you'll win the case with lies 
'cause you sold them down the river-o

Do I belong to some ancient race
I like to walk in ancient places 
These are things that I can understand
I don't believe in your modern way
Don't care about the things you say
Your policies have failed the test of time 
'cause you sold them down the river-o

Now in a land not far away,
there's men in prison because they say
The colour of your skin is not a question 
Did you rally to their side
No, you sat back and let them die
I don't know how you get to sleep at night
'cause you sold them down the river-o

Do I belong to some ancient race
I like to walk in ancient places 
These are things that I can understand
I don't believe in your modern way
Don't care about the things you say
Your policies have failed the test of time 
'cause you sold them down the river-o

Your money market goes round and round 
The pound goes up, the dollar goes down
You need the power for your new towns
'cause you get scared when the night comes down
Won't you tell me where it is that we are bound 

Do I belong to some ancient race
I like to walk in ancient places 
These are things that I can understand
I don't believe in your modern way
Don't care about the things you say
Your policies have failed the test of time 
'cause you sold them down the river-o
