Lyrics The Levellers

The Levellers

Duty

So you're done your duty relax

Four and twenty for life

But that faceless man and his plans

Been giving you sleepless nights

Reap all you've sown

He'll make you bleed

This is a hunger you can't feed

White knuckle ride in the queue

Just don't know what to say

Always played by the rules

But now it's redundancy day

Worked hard all this life

Still you can't go free

This is a hunger you can't feed

I take it all and I hide it away

Just be grateful

There are killers and thieves

That need to be paid

So be grateful

We have no off-shore accounts

No mountain of gold in a vault

We get by on final demands

Living under assault

Another bailiff to fight

He'll make you bleed

This is a hunger you can't feed
