Lyrics The Levellers

The Levellers

The Likes of You and I

Do you ever stop to think from time to time

'Bout the way the world's been left behind?

In another place, in another time

We could maybe change the way we think

Take the blinkers from our eyes

Do you think that she was maybe 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

'Cause she's living in a nightmare running out of her control

Take the rope, take the blindfold from your eyes

Take the rope from 'round your neck

And take the blindfold from your eyes

Then 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's gonna be alright

'Cause the land has been here longer

Than the likes of you and I

Take the rope, take the blindfold from your eyes

Take the rope from 'round your neck

And take the blindfold from your eyes

Then you'll never be surprised

When they tell you that they love you

While they're eating you alive

Do you think that she was maybe 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

'Cause she's living in a nightmare running out of her control

Take the rope, take the blindfold from your eyes

Take the rope from 'round your neck

And take the blindfold from your eyes

Take the rope, take the blindfold from your eyes

Take the rope from 'round your neck

And take the blindfold from your eyes

Then you'll never be surprised

When they tell you that they love you

While they're eating you alive
