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.

The Shame
G
G
A million times I've looked at the tides
G
Never thought I'd find myself crying
Em G
I find cold burning tears of anger and pity and shame
G
Lying before me is a tiny young life
G
Hated by years of hatred and crime
Em G
Killed by indifferent, fanatic religious divides
G
They crept out of hiding and ran for their lives
G
Too young for the fighting, too young to take sides
Em G
They're hope for the future washed up there in the brine
G
It's important to know that the waters they choked
G
They were international, they'd pinned all their hopes
Em G
On rumours of leaving, the promise of freedom we gave
Am D
But the you door left open you slammed in their face
Am D
Now full of self-loathing this common disgrace
Am D G
As a world we did nothing and silently let them die
Am D
So tell me my friends does the future look rosy?
G Em
Do you sleep well in bed, safe warm and cosy?
Am D G
Do you hope someone finds a solution overnight?
Am D
And tell me again how history repeats
G Em
And how we learned from all our mistakes
Am D G
And we'd like to help, but sadly your hands are tied
G G Em G
Am D
With racists and bigots running countries and business
Am D
No real religions just misguided misfits
Am D G
It's business as usual, towing the party line
Am D
How proud you must feel when you're cutting your deals
Am D
To the arms manufacturer's greasing the wheels
Am D G
Selling bullets and bombs to the men with the guns taking bribes
Am D
And tell me my friend does the future look rosy?
G Em
Do you sleep well in bed, safe warm and cosy?
Am D G
Do you hope someone finds a solution overnight?
Am D
So tell me again how history repeats
G Em
How we could learn from all our mistakes
Am D G
How you'd like to help but sadly you haven't the time
