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.

WORLD FREAK SHOW - THE LEVELLERS
--------------------------------
D E D E
D E
In the past the fools would pay
A E A E
To see the freaks of the day
D E
Contradictions of the norm
A E A E
The bizarre, the wonderful and deformed
D
No need for the tents and the cages now
E
The world comes to my eyes
D
In front of my TV circus
E
A freak show in disguise
Bm
Circles and roundabouts
A E
How much did you know
Bm
Going round and coming back
A E
The world freak show
Bm
Swings and revolutions
A E
How much did you know
Bm
Going round and coming back
A E
The world freak show
D E D E
Another tree is coming down
Another harpooned whale is drowned
Another child's belly needs feeding
On land the fast-food chain is bleeding
And we bought our new green wool
And pulled it over our eyes
As the circus on all around
A freak show in disguise
Circles and roundabouts...
D E D E
D E D E
And it's circles and roundabouts...
(no chords)
Peristroika, Reform, Glasnost
(Hardcore sell, Overhead cost)
News at ten, The House, Big Ben
(Half truths, Now and then)
Pol Pot (Border) Massacre (Slaughter)
Rainforests (The president's daughter)
Irradiate (Evacuate)
((Use, Abuse, Manipulate))
Bm
The people's will, their bellies full
A E
Multi-nationals, ((kill, kill, kill))
Bm
Dead dictator, sniper's retreat
A E
People claim the power seat
Bm
Wall comes down, people stand up
A E
Cross the border, customs shut
Bm
Forklift, Airlift, Foreign Aid
A E
Pockets lined, Army blockade
Bm
Evolution, Progress, Regress
A E
Power, Possession, Energy Harness
Bm
Economy, Market, High or low
A E
How much did you know
D
In the world freak show...
D E D E
D
The world freak show, world freak show, world freak.
