The World Turned Upside Down — текст песни (Chumbawamba)





In sixteen forty-nine to St. George`s Hill
A ragged band they called the Diggers came to show the people`s will
They defied the landlords, they defied the laws
They were the dispossesed reclaiming what was theirs
`We come in peace,` they said, `to dig and sow`
`We come to work the land in common and to make the wasteground grow`
`This Earth divided, we will make whole`
`So it can be a common treasury for all`
`The sin of property we do disdain`
`No one has any right to buy or sell the earth for private gain`
`By theft and murder they took the land`
`Now everywhere the walls spring up at their command`
`They make the laws to chain us well`
`The clergy dazzle us with heaven or they damn us into hell`
`We will not worship the god the serve`
`The god of greed who feeds the rich whilst pepole starve`
`We work, we eat together, we take up swords`
`We will not bow to the masters or pay rent to the lords`
`We are free people though we are poor`
You Diggers all stand up for glory, stand up now
