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".

Fired forty rounds in the center of town 
He thought to bring the world around 
Sleepless nights with God and Christ 
The New Messiah 

To burn the world to change the days 
Can be done in better ways
But to make news and front page 
You've got to aim higher 

They didn't build Jerusalem 
They didn't find the land
For reasons of security
They couldn't get the plans 

And we're left standing watching from below 
No new songs and no new heroes
Standing on the sidelines watching the flow
Waiting till the day the circle's broken 

Took the mic to save day
The rock star's going to have his say
I interpret this in any way as if it matters
'cause nothing's black and nothing's white 
Nothing appears to be quite right 
It'll be this way until the day
The circle's shattered

I hear an old song yesterday
About a better world
You know the story 
They're all the same 
The boy gets the girl

From the tips of your fingers
The rest is numb 
You begin to feel the warmth of the sun
It's slipping away been taking away 
All you once knew
Taking it back takes all you've got 
No time to sit and watch it rot 
Believe it's yours and not the lies
Or all hell to you
