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).

I never was a violent man 
Said the man in the bar with his head in his hands 
Trying his best to understand the cause of his dismay 
But years of gin have broken him 
And left him cold where he fitted in
It's too late to turn around and find another way 
All the lights in the late night lock-in 
Fade away when he gets in 
And the girl from fifteen years ago 
Has packed and gone away 
She said it'll never be what it used to be 
What happened to all that energy 
You took too many liberties, and I'm tired of being afraid 
So night after night she took flight 
Hiding swollen eyes and a wounded pride 
The best years of her life denied, sold for liquid shares 
CHORUS 
The victims of this world, are advertised on posters 
A beach and a pretty girl, if you just drink their potion 
It's another week 'til his cheque comes through
He's got a fiver left to spend on food
But the doors of the bar are open, and he breaks another rule 
He sits on the stool that bears his name 
His favorite glass is called the same 
And he's never kept waiting, 'cos he pays the landlord's wage 
CHORUS
