Battle of the Beanfield Lyrics


I thought I heard something calling me
I've seen the pictures on TV
And I made up my mind that I'd go and see
With my own eyesIt didn't take too long to hitch a ride
With a guy going south to start a new life
Past the place where my friend died
Two years agoDown the 303 at the end of the road
Flashing lights - exclusion zones
And it made me think it's not just the stones
That they're guardingHey, hey, now can't you see
There's nothing here that you can call free
They're getting their kicks
They're laughing at you and meAs the sun rose on the beanfield
They came like wolf on the fold
And no, they didn't give a warning
They took their bloody tollI seen a pregnant woman
Lying in blood of her own
I seen her children crying

As the police tore apart their homeAnd no they didn't need a reason
It's what your votes condone
It seems they were committing treason
By trying to live on the roadAnd I say
Hey, hey, now can't you see
There's nothing here that you can call free
They're getting their kicks
They're laughing at you and meHey, hey, now can't you see
There's nothing here that you can call free
They're getting their kicks
They're laughing at you and meBastards
Remember what you heardHey, hey, now can't you see
There's nothing here that you can call free
They're getting their kicks
They're laughing at you and me

The Levellers are a popular English rock band influenced by punk and traditional English music. They are based in Brighton, England where they were founded in 1988. There are several stories regarding how they got their name; from the Levellers, a radically democratic faction of Oliver Cromwell's New Model Army; as a reference to "The Level", a flat open space near where members of the band used to live in Brighton; or simply, according to guitarist, Simon Friend, a word they chose from a dictionary.
