Cardboard Box City - The Levellers[00:00:01]

Have you seen them in every station[00:00:24]

Begging in their separate ways [00:00:29]

Some of them are no more than children[00:00:34]

Some of them are runaways[00:00:40]

I don't care for your opinion[00:00:45]

I've seen you turn your face the other way[00:00:49]

And you said to me "Son [00:00:54]

What's your problem [00:00:56]

Can't we talk about this over lunch some day "[00:00:59]

And I bet you've never been south of the river[00:01:05]

Down the Old Kent Road or down Southwark Way[00:01:09]

I bet you've never never seen them lying in the litter[00:01:13]

In the cardboard boxes where you make them stay[00:01:19]

In the docklands of East London[00:01:34]

Where those great tall ships once sailed[00:01:38]

Of a price of couple of hundred thousands[00:01:43]

I have seen your condominiums for sale[00:01:48]

In the north by the Archway Tavern[00:01:54]

You can see them lying there every day[00:01:58]

And they're drunk to hell[00:02:03]

They'll scream their minds to the heaven[00:02:04]

"My God why did it have to be this way "[00:02:08]

And I bet you've never been south of the river[00:02:13]

Down the Old Kent Road or down Southwark Way[00:02:17]

I bet you've never never seen them lying in the litter[00:02:22]

In the cardboard boxes where you make them stay[00:02:28]

I worked my time and I paid my taxes[00:02:48]

I've lined your pockets with my pay[00:02:52]

You said you'd take my money [00:02:56]

You said you'd help them[00:02:59]

But in your pockets it just seems to stay[00:03:01]

And I've seen your fancy house in Richmond[00:03:07]

And where you moor your boat on Kingston Quay[00:03:12]

Every week you take your wife and children sailing[00:03:17]

Try taking them down to South London some day[00:03:21]

And I bet you've never been south of the river[00:03:27]

Down the Old Kent Road or down Southwark Way[00:03:31]

I bet you've never never seen them lying in the litter[00:03:36]

In the cardboard boxes where you make them stay[00:03:41]

In the cardboard boxes where they have to stay[00:03:46]
