Testo Sell Out - Remastered Version - Levellers
Testo della canzone Sell Out - Remastered Version (Levellers), tratta dall'album Levelling The Land (Remastered Version)
Well the year is 1991
It seems that freedom's dead and gone
The power of the rich is held by few
You keep the young ones paralyzed
Educated by your lies
Keep the old ones happy with the news
Tell a singer not to sing a song
Tell the poet that she's wrong
In the court you'll win the case with lies
'Cause you sold them down the river
Do I belong to some ancient race?
I like to walk in ancient places
These are things that I can understand
Well I don't believe in your modern ways
Don't care about the things you say
Your policies have failed the test of time
'Cause you sold them down the river
Now, now in a land not far away
There's men in prison 'cause they say
The color of your skin it's not a question
But did you rally to their side?
No you sat back, you let them die
Don't know how you get to sleep at night
At night
Do I belong to some ancient race?
I like to walk in ancient places
These are things that I can understand
Well I don't believe in your modern ways
Don't care about the things you say
Your policies have failed the test of time
Your money market goes round and round
Pound goes up, the dollar goes down
But in South America forests cut down
You need the power for a new town
You get scared when the money comes down
Won't you tell me where it is we are bound?
Do I belong to some ancient race?
I like to walk in ancient places
These are things that I can understand
Well I don't believe in your modern ways
Don't care about the things you say
Your policies have failed the test of time
'Cause you sold them down the river
