The Levellers
"Wheels"


He came off second best when he first came round here
In a town that's built on money, built on fear
Just don't fake life
He's been told a thousand times

You see the wheels that we turn in keep dragging us down

He was amazed to se the fallen here
Tried so very hard to fight the fear
Then when he saw the end and it weren't very far
It slipped from his grasp and he stumbled there in the dark
Just don't fake life
He's been told a thousand times

You see the wheels that we turn in keep dragging us down

He took a troubled heart and then he gave it out
Took a violent change of circumstance to shout
There can be nobody better to turn things around
Yes there can be nobody better to turn things around
Just don't fake life
He's been told a thousand times

You see the wheels that we turn in keep dragging us down
