The Levellers - Sell Out video free download

The year it's 1991,

It seems that freedom's dead and gone,

The power of the rich is held by few.

Keep the young paralyzed, educated by your lies,

Keep the old ones happy with the news.

Tell the singer not to song his song,

Tell the poet that she's wrong

And in the courts you'll win the case with lies.

'Cause you sold them down the river.

Do I belong to some ancient race?

I like to walk in ancient places,

These are things that I can understand.

I don't believe in your modern way,

Don't care about the things you say,

Your policies have failed the test of time,

'Cause you sold them down the river.

Now, now in a land not far away,

There's men in prison 'cause they say,

The colour of your skin is not a question.

But did you rally to their side?

No, you sat back and let them die,

I don't know how you get to sleep at night.

At night!

Do I belong to some ancient race?

I like to walk in ancient places,

These are things that I can understand.

I don't believe in your modern way,

Don't care about the things you say,

Your policies have failed the test of time.

Your money market goes round and round,

The pound goes up, the dollar goes down.

... South America forest - cut down.

You need the power for your new towns,

You get scared when the night comes down.

Won't you tell me where it is that we are bound?

Do I belong to some ancient race?

I like to walk in ancient places,

These are things that I can understand.

I don't believe in your modern way,

Don't care about the things you say,

Your policies have failed the test of time,

'Cause you sold them down the river.
