The Levellers - The Likes Of You And I lyrics

About the way the world's been left behind

In another place, another time

We could maybe change the way we think

Take the blinkers from our eyes

Do you think that maybe she was not alone

Do you think there's someone out there

Do you think that they might know

And if they don't do you think

They should be told

Cos she's living in a nightmare

Burning out of her control

Take the rope

Take the blindfold from your eyes

Take the rope from around your neck

And the blindfold from your eyes

And you'll never be surprised

When they tell you that they love you

While they're eating you alive

Do you think you have the strength to carry on

Or has the black cat got your tongue

Don't worry now the world will be alright

Cos the land has been here longer

Than the likes of you and I
