Miles Away - The Levellers

Do you ever think that we might be the same

Or do you see the world in such a different way?

It seems that parties, raves and lazy summer days

Have now all gone

And if you’re old or young

Just wanna have a little fun

Then you’re outta line

So tell me once again the real cause of all this pain

Weren’t you once young before?

Didn’t you try to change the score?

I can’t believe it was so many years ago

Have you forgotten how it feels

To run naked in the field?

I hope it’s not so

I always hope this place might stay the same

But you reached the point of no return again

Another face is being burnt and raped

For a moment away

Well, it’s the price you say

That we all have to pay

For a minute’s say

I just can’t believe

It’s really worth the bloody grief

With the money that you save

You just take a life away

The blood you steal

From all the people that you fear

I know that it’s so
