The Likes of You and I

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).

Do you ever stop to think from time to time
'Bout the way the world's been left behind
In another place, in another time
We could maybe change the way we think 
Take the blinkers from our eyes 

Do you think that she was maybe not alone
Do you think there's someone out there
Do you think that they might know
And if they don't do you think they should be told 
'Cause she's living in a nightmare 
Running out of her control 

Take the rope
Take the blindfold from your eyes
Take the rope from 'round your neck 
And take the blindfold from your eyes 

And you'll never be surprised
When they tell you that they love you
While they're eating you alive

Do you think you have the strength to carry on
Or has the black cat got your tongue
Don't worry now the world's gonna be allright 
'Cause the land has been here longer 
Than the likes of you and I
