lyrics

(Text+Musik: Levellers)

I thought I heard someone calling me
I´ve seen the pictures on TV
and I made up my mind that I´d go and see
with my own eyes.

It didn´t take too long to hitch a ride
with a guy going south to start a new life
past the place where my friend died
two years ago.

Down the 303 at the end of the road
flashing lights – exclusion zones
and it made me think it´s not just the stones
that they´re guarding.

Hey, hey, can´t you see
there´s nothing here that you could call free
they´re getting their kicks
laugling at you and me.

As the sun rose on the beanfield
they came like wolf on the fold
and they didn´t give a warning
they took their bloody toll.

I see a pregnant woman
lying in blood of her own
I see her children crying
as the police tose apart her home.

And no they didn´t need a reason
it´s what your votes condone
it seems they were committing treason
by trying to live on the road.

Hey, hey, can´t you see
there´s nothing here that you could call free
they´re getting their kicks
laugling at you and me.
