The Levellers - What's In The Way lyrics

What's in the way, who's standing there?

Behind every gun, every last look of dispair

Well bring me a mirror and I'll show you his face

Give him sone peace and he feels out of place.

But he's not so hard and his time is short

Maybe he's just fooling with the time that he bought.

So lay me down

Oh lay me down,

Oh lay me down,

Lay me down,

Well he brings you famine he brings you war

His fear is compassion and his greed is for more

If you give his blood, show him love,

In a land without thoughts from "above"

You compete for the truth You compete for sanity

But you want hear a word

Because his conscience is locked

They've imprisnoed his consciense

No you won't hear a word

So lay me down,

Lay me down,

Oh lay me down,

Lay me down,

Well he brings you famine he brings you war

His fear is compassion and his greed is for more

If you give him blood, show him love,

Of a land withou thoughts from "above"

And he won't listen in the dawn.

So lay me down,

Lay me down,

Yeah lay me down,

Lay me down
