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.

Great, new song from the levs. My first tab, and sounds ok to me! Comments welcome!
F Am
I can’t believe we stand aside and watch these people cry
Dm G
Shedding crocodile tears saying we can’t interfere this time.
F AM
Standing for their rights became their daily suicide
Dm G
But getting blown away by the tyrant of the day are we blind
Em F Em F
Your conscience is clear, there’s no threat round here
Em F G
Keep on spreading the fear and the lies
Dm F C G
The television sears my eyes
Am F Am
Their only mission was sacrifice
Dm F C G
With your permission they might make it out alive
Am F
You should have listened
Am F G
Yeah you should have listened last time
F Am
Now you sit alone and watch their families cry
Dm G
Trying to understand why they’ve fallen in a land far away
F Am
I know the time will come and for your crimes you’ll pay
Dm G
You never once delivered, my soul begins to shiver at your name
Em F
They’re caught in the crossfire
Em F
Never thought they would die there
Em F G
As the light in their eyes starts to fade
Dm F C G
The television sears my eyes
Am F Am
Their only mission was sacrifice
Dm F C G
With your permission they might make it out alive
Am F
You should have listened
Am F
Yeah you need to listen
Am F G
You need to listen, this time….
Am
This time
