LyricMeaning

Sell Out
Levellers

The year was 1991, it seems that freedom is dead and gone

The power of the rich is held by few

Keep the young paralyzed, educated by your lies

Keep the old ones happy with the news

Tell the singer not to song his song

Tell the poet that she's wrong

And in the courts you'll win the case with lies

Cos you sold them down the river-o


Do I belong to some ancient race

I like to walk in ancient places

These are things that I can understand

I don't believe in your modern way

Don't care about the things you say

Your policies have failed the test of time

Cos you sold them down the river-o


Now in a land not far away, there's men in prison because they say

The colour of your skin is not a question

Did you rally to their side

No, you sat back and let them die

I don't know how you get to sleep at night


Chorus


Your money market goes round and round

The pound goes up, the dollar goes down

You need the power for your new towns

Cos you get scared when the night comes down

Won't you tell me where it is that we are bound


Chorus
