Rate Sell Out Lyrics
Artist : Levellers Song : Sell Out
The year is 1991, it seems that freedom's dead
and gone The power of the rich is held by
few Keep the young ones paralized, educated by
your lies Keep the old ones happy with the
news Tell the singer not to singthis
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 the 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 Another South American forest cut
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
