Social Insecurity - The Levellers

Well it’s another social worker

In his government disguise

Sitting behind his bullet-proof glass

Trying to tell me 'bout my rights

And i don’t like the way that he’s

Asking me these questions

I can read between the lines

And i don’t think that i can trust you

With the story of my life

Another communication

That will bring you to your knees

The genocidal maniacs

They’re doing just what they please

We’ve gotta move these mountains

'Cause they’re standing in the way

If it’s in the name of progress oh yeah

We can make it pay for our

Social insecurity

They’ll try to take my history

Away from me

Social insecurity don’t look at me

They’ll try to take my life

Well it never seems so tragic now

As the dawn breaks into day

But they’re staring at the tower block

Where the green field once laid

All the mighty rivers are full of

Factory decay

Is this just some small price that you have

Learned to pay for your

Social insecurity

They’ll try to take my history

Away from me

Social insecurity don’t look at me

They’ll try to take my life

This is your democracy

This is your bureaucracy

Well i call it damned hypocrisy

If you’ll ask me

I’ll tell you 'bout your life
