Horrible Histories - Luddite lyrics
Your rating:
We were weavers highly skilled To things were mechanised Craft and artisanship killed A threat to all our lives. Machines meant the workforce shrunk. You think you'd see us settle When bosses said 'Lets junk each punk and replace you ... with heavy metal Luddite Luddite Luddite Luddite Luddites The working man was sacrificed Luddite Luddite Luddite Luddite Luddites Turned us in to anar-chists Industrial reolution Our old life over thrown So we came up with a solution of our own A revolution of our own Met in the hills and planned to smash Thier weaving machines of gloom Hear that sweet music as we bash A wop bam a loom ahh A wop bam boom Luddite Luddite Luddite Luddite Luddites Industrial weaving its a stitch up Break the device and smash my swtich up We named our movement after ned ludd A folk hero who myth proclaimed Once reacted in a fit of rage By smashing up some knitting frames So we formed the new luddite army Started to riot It all went barmy Laws were passed to shake our wills Sent solders armed with guns All though we tried to break things still We fought the law but the law won Trial and punisments were seen Its clear we lost the fight But thanks to our rage against the machine Now carries the name Ludd-ite Luddite Luddite Luddite Luddite Luddites This band struggles carries on Luddite Luddite Luddite Luddite Luddites Wont rest to machines are all gone Solo On what exactly?
