The Levelution Songtext

von Coope Boyes & Simpson

The Levolution is begun
And bells burst where this song is sung
So I'll go home and get me gun
And shoot the duke of Wellington

We do not hear the bugle's note
We haven't even got the vote
So for the likes of you and me
The government opposed must be

We've had enough of kings and Queens
Our jobs are taken by machines
Our children starve for want of bread
Pray tell me how they should be fed

We do not hear the bugle's note
We haven't even got the vote
So for the likes of you and me
The government opposed must be

Pentridges and far away
Where those poor lads did sport and play
Betrayed they were in a cruel game
And Oliver we know your name

We do not hear the bugle's not
We haven't even got the vote
So for the likes of you and me
The government opposed must be

Don't look to us for new recrutes
For we are not just slave-ish brutes
Untill you let us have our say
We'll over go and far away

We do not hear the bugle's note
We haven't even got the vote
So for the likes of you and me
The government opposed must be

The Levolution is begun
And bells burst where this song is sung
So I'll go home and get me gun
And shoot the duke of Wellington
