This story starts way back when we were wet behind the ears As you can imagine, I'm going back some years A band that we looked up to said 'Come and do a show' Got there nice and early, couldn't wait to get our go But then the management came in and said 'You cannot play, We're just more important and we always get our way' Looking round backstage, we found a trunk of beer, We're not leaving here with nothing, so empty it in here and... CHORUS I drank The Levellers' rider TIMES 4 Scrolling forward now and we're about to play the Daze They change their minds again, the guitar stays in it's place You wouldn't think the management would pull that kind of stunt By all accounts he's a really nice bloke But at least Fleece give him the stink finger At least Fleece give hum the stink finger We were older and wiser, or at least that's what we thought But you couldn't say that of the people that we brought The rider was left out again and those punk hippy ravers Couldn't live with themselves if they'd left all that Stella And they drank the Levellers' rider... Just the recent past some rainy festy in September Trapped in a portacabin surrounded by water Stage hit by lightning, ran out of cider What's that floating past? It's The Levellers' rider! And... If you get to meet your idols maybe miss that meeting It's more than likely hat they'll be disappointing I know I should have seen it from their point of view And I'm truly sorry if I've done the same to you

Don't wanna be an anarchist in Homebase Just working and getting off of my face Thought my life it night be something special Not mad, dead or famous Woke up looking like Frank from Shameless These comparisons just aren't that helpful I miss those stupid conversations When we were trying to change the nation Things you kids don't talk about these days World powers sign up for Armageddon While you're choosing your wedding ring Symptoms of our cultural maliase Sell your body, sell your soul This power will set you free Sell your body, sell your soul I'm Mammon. come with me When it's time for us to clock out We can go to sleep Sell your body, sell your soul I'm Mammon come with me CHORUS You're going to wait a long time (wait a long time) You're going to wait a long time for me TIMES 2 Some might say our feudal past was just white mans slavery 60, 70 hours You're going to wait a long time at this rate To be free Electric-Cool-Aid-Acid-Test put me off the Marxists, Listened to the anarchists I suppose my good intentions turned to dust Working in a warehouse,hiding in the toilet playing Tetris Trying to pay my debts off No-one's ever going to pay me for these songs Well I could live ok on no money I just had to get out to escape daytime TV You know you're just too lazy it's the English disease Work faster before we're all talking Chinese You know the banks won't lend though there's sharks at the door The system collapsed so they just paid themselves more And now we've proved the rich are exempt from laws It seems they're only there to punish the poor
