Freeborn John
We were fed upon a diet of lies, we rallied to the cause
In history well its all the same, the poor folk fight the wars
There's not a tear that fills my sad blue eyes
As we gaze into the blood red sky
Now I'm standing in the rain against a blood soaked wall
We the proletariat still answer to the call
For those who judge me won't you spare a thought
For all the wars and battles that we fought
Parliament promised changes, we fought against the king
In the end when the war was won it didn't change a thing
My only crime was fighting for a cause
Against this tyranny and unjust laws
Cromwell had the victory and power in his hand
free thinkers and the Levellers cut down by his command
Freeborn John your vision lingers on
If not in law then in my mind and song
Free me
In the land that calls my name
Can't you see we're all to blame
Go and hang your heads in shame
Sea green ribbon worn for me
In the name of liberty
So our children can be free
In history well its all the same, the poor folk fight the wars
There's not a tear that fills my sad blue eyes
As we gaze into the blood red sky
Now I'm standing in the rain against a blood soaked wall
We the proletariat still answer to the call
For those who judge me won't you spare a thought
For all the wars and battles that we fought
Parliament promised changes, we fought against the king
In the end when the war was won it didn't change a thing
My only crime was fighting for a cause
Against this tyranny and unjust laws
Cromwell had the victory and power in his hand
free thinkers and the Levellers cut down by his command
Freeborn John your vision lingers on
If not in law then in my mind and song
Free me
In the land that calls my name
Can't you see we're all to blame
Go and hang your heads in shame
Sea green ribbon worn for me
In the name of liberty
So our children can be free
