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".

Headlights, white lights, black tar rivers
Dragging me around this country as it withers
The billboards, signposts, standing in the way 
Tell of the state of the nations, that we find today 

And we play and we play 
To every day, every day 
To every day

In the front rooms of old towns far from the city 
With beat up guitars and hearts full of pity 
The people gather round singing songs from everywhere 
Torn from the nation, left without a care 

And we play and we play 
To every day, every day 
To every day

And we'll rid the bloody world for a moment in a word 
And we'll rid the bloody world 'cause 
The words that you heard when you were young will always stay
The one's that always stay make the world go away 
The words that you heard when you were young will always stay
The one's that always stay make the world go away 
Go away

Warm night, clear sky, European town
Outside the bars singing their hearts out to a crowd 
Open boots, violin, banjo and a voice
The Exiled buskers,they´re happy with their choice

And we play and we play 
To every day, every day 
To every day 

And we'll rid the bloody world for a moment in a word 
And we'll rid the bloody world 'cause 
The words that you heard when you were young will always stay
The one's that always stay make the world go away 
The words that you heard when you were young will always stay
The one's that always stay make the world go away 
Go away

And we play and we play 
To every day, every day 
Every day
