The Levelution

Jim Boyes  Voice Publishing

The Levelution is begun

And Belper’s where this song is sung

So I’ll go home and get my gun

And shoot the Duke of Wellington

 

We do not hear the bugle’s note

We hav’n’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

 

Pentrich isn’t far away

Where those poor lads did sport and play

Betrayed they were in a cruel game

And Oliver we know your name

 

Don't look to us for new recruits

For we are not just slavish brutes

And 'til you let us have our say

We’re over Cow Hill and far away

 

Repeat 1
