SELL OUT / LEVELLING THE LAND

    Am        C      G                       Am   
The year is 1991. it seems that freedoom?s s dead and gone
                 C               G
The power of the rich is held by few
Am                  C          G        Am
Keep the young ones paralyzed, educated by your lies
                  C              G            (same same the whole song)      
Keep the old ones happy with the news

Tell the singer not to sing his song

Tell the poet that she?s wrong

and in the courts you?ll win the case with lies

Cos you sold them down the river-o



do I belong to some ancient race I like to walk in ancient places

These are the things that I can understand

I don?t believe in your modern way

Don’t care about the things you say

Your policies have failed the test of time

Cos you sold them down the river-o



Now in a Land not far away. 

there?s men in prison because they say 

The colour of your skin is not a question

Did you rally to their side ?

No, you sat back and let them die

I don?t know how you get to sleep at night

(CHORUS)
