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.

Levellers ? Sell out
Verse 1
A C
The year is 1991
G D
Seems our freedom is dead and gone
A C G
The power of the rich is held by few
A C
Keep the young ones paralysed,
G D
Educated by your lies
A C G
Keep the old ones happy with the news
A C
Tell the singer not to sing this song
G D
Tell the poet that she?s wrong
A C G
In the court you?ll win the case with lies
Coz you sold them down the river
Chorus
A C
Do I belong to an ancient race
G D
I like to walk in ancient places
A C G
These are things that I can?t understand
A C
I do believe in your modern ways
G D
Don?t care about the things you say
A C G
Your policies have failed the test of time
Coz you sold them down the river
Verse 2
In a land not far away
There are many prisoners coz they say
The colour of your skin is not the question
Did you rally to their side
Na you sat back and let them die
Don?t know how you get to sleep tonight
Tonight
Chorus
Bridge
A C D
Your money market goes round and round
A C D
Pound goes up the dollar goes down
A C D
Another south American forest cut down
A C D
Need your pound for your new town
A C D
You get scared when the boy comes down
A C D
Can?t you tell me where it is we are bound
Chorus
