The Levelution Songtext
von Coope Boyes & Simpson

The levolution is begun
And Belper′s where this song is sung
So I'll go home and get me gun
And shoot the Duke of Wellington

We do not hear the bugle′s note
We haven'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

We do not hear the bugle′s note
We haven′t even got the vote
So for the likes of you and me
The government opposed must be


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

We do not hear the bugle′s note
We haven't even got the vote
So for the likes of you and me
The government opposed must be

Don′t look to us for new recruits
For we are not just slavish brutes
Until you let us have our say
We're over Cow Hill and far away

We do not hear the bugle′s note
We haven't even got the vote
So for the likes of you and me
The government opposed must be

The levolution is begun
And Belper's where this song is sung
So I′ll go home and get me gun
And shoot the Duke of Wellington
