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".

Gunshots shatter the peace of night
it's just another fire fight
for the people of this little town
but for the dying soldier
he's feeling ten yerars older
and he's lying face down on the ground
all the words that are in his head 
are all the words his mother said
as she would put him to bed back home

CHORUS:
your daddy died in the falklands 
fighting for another man's cause
and your brother he was killed in the last war
now your mother's lying at home alone

Every day she sees his face 
on the picture on the fireplace
with your brother as he was leaving school 
then a day came five years ago
you said "mother, i need to know"
and you spoke the words your brother spoke before
"i know the things my daddy done
i've seen the medals thet he won
and i know that this is what he would have wanted-for me"

CHORUS

AND NOW SHE WONDERS AT IT ALL
HOW MANY MORE ARE GOING TO ANSWER THE CALL
TO FIGHT AND DIE IN ANOTHER COUNTRY'S 
TO DIE FOR RELIGION THE NEVER BELIVED IN AT ALL
TO DIE IN A PLACE THEY SHOULD HAVE NEVER BEEN AT ALL
NO, NEVER BEEN AT ALL

CHORUS
