Levellers ? Sell out

Verse 1
A             C
The year is 1991
G                    D
Seems our freedom is dead and gone
A                C               G
The power of the rich is held by few
A                   C
Keep the young ones paralysed,
G        D
Educated by your lies
A                 C              G
Keep the old ones happy with the news
A                      C
Tell the singer not to sing this song
G                  D
Tell the poet that she?s wrong
A                   C                 G
In the court you?ll win the case with lies
Coz you sold them down the river

Chorus
A                 C
Do I belong to an ancient race
G                 D
I like to walk in ancient places
A                     C            G
These are things that I can?t understand
A                    C
I do believe in your modern ways
G                    D
Don?t care about the things you say
     A             C                  G
Your policies have failed the test of time
Coz you sold them down the river

Verse 2
In a land not far away
There are many prisoners coz they say
The colour of your skin is not the question
Did you rally to their side
Na you sat back and let them die
Don?t know how you get to sleep tonight
Tonight

Chorus

Bridge
A                      C         D
Your money market goes round and round
A                             C    D
Pound goes up the dollar goes down
A                             C   D
Another south American forest cut down
A                            C     D
Need your pound for your new town
A                           C     D
You get scared when the boy comes down
A                       C     D
Can?t you tell me where it is we are bound

Chorus
