Biography:
Levellers is a popular English rock band influenced by punk and traditional English music. The band is based in Brighton, England, where they were founded in 1988. There are several stories regarding how they got their name; from the Levellers, a radically democratic faction of Oliver Cromwell's New Model Army; as a reference to "The Level", a flat open space near where members of the band used to live in Brighton; or simply, according to guitarist, Simon Friend, a word they chose from a dictionary.

[Verse]
C G
Do you ever think that we might be the same
C G
Or do you see the world in such a different way?
C
It seems that parties, raves and lazy summer days
G C G
Are now a crime
C
And if you're old or young
Just wanna have a little fun
G C G
Then you're outta line
Em D
So tell me once again the real cause of all this pain
Am
Weren't you once young before?
C D
Didn't you try to change the score?
Em D
I can't believe it was so many years ago
Am
Have you forgotten how it feels
C D
To run naked in the fields?
C G
I hope it's not so
C G
I always hope this place might stay the same
C G
But you reached the point of no return again
C
Another age old face is being burnt and raped
G C G
For a moment away
C
Well, it's the price you say
That we all have to pay
G C G
For a minute's say
Em
I just can't believe
D
It's really worth the bloody grief
Am
With the money that you save
C D
You just take a life away
Em
And all the blood you steal
D
From all the people that you fear
Am
You're using it to pay
C D
For the fuck-ups that you made
C G
I know that it's so
C G
Do you ever think that we might be the same
C G
Or do you see the world in such a different way?
C
It seems that parties, raves and lazy summer days
G C G
Are now a crime
C
And if you're old or young
Just wanna have a little fun
G C G
Then you're outta line
