<pre><font size='+2'>THE WORLD TURNED UPSIDE DOWN lyrics BILLY BRAGG</font><br>In 1649<br />
To St. George`s Hill,<br />
A ragged band they called the Diggers<br />
Came to show the people`s will<br />
They defied the landlords<br />
They defied the laws<br />
They were the dispossessed reclaiming what was theirs<br />
<br />
We come in peace they said<br />
To dig and sow<br />
We come to work the lands in common<br />
And to make the waste ground grow<br />
This earth divided<br />
We will make whole<br />
So it will be<br />
A common treasury for all<br />
<br />
The sin of property<br />
We do disdain<br />
No man has any right to buy and sell<br />
The earth for private gain<br />
By theft and murder<br />
They took the land<br />
Mow everywhere the walls<br />
Spring up at their command<br />
<br />
They make the laws<br />
To chain us well<br />
The clergy dazzle us with heaven<br />
Or they damn us into hell<br />
We will not worship<br />
The God they serve<br />
The God of greed who feed the rich<br />
While poor folk starve<br />
<br />
We work we eat together<br />
We need no swords<br />
We will not bow to the masters<br />
Or pay rent to the lords<br />
Still we are free<br />
Though we are poor<br />
You Diggers all stand up for glory<br />
Stand up now<br />
<br />
From the men of property<br />
The orders came<br />
They sent the hired men and troopers<br />
To wipe out the Diggers` claim<br />
Tear down their cottages<br />
Destroy their corn<br />
They were dispersed<br />
But still the vision lingers on<br />
<br />
You poor take courage<br />
You rich take care<br />
This earth was made a common treasury<br />
For everyone to share<br />
All things in common<br />
All people one<br />
We come in peace<br><br><a href='http://www.lyricsbay.com' target='_blank'>LyricsBay</a> | <a href="http://www.lyricsbay.com/the_world_turned_upside_down_lyrics-billy_bragg.html" target='_blank'>THE WORLD TURNED UPSIDE DOWN lyrics BILLY BRAGG</a></pre>

In 1649
To St. George`s Hill,
A ragged band they called the Diggers
Came to show the people`s will
They defied the landlords
They defied the laws
They were the dispossessed reclaiming what was theirs

We come in peace they said
To dig and sow
We come to work the lands in common
And to make the waste ground grow
This earth divided
We will make whole
So it will be
A common treasury for all

The sin of property
We do disdain
No man has any right to buy and sell
The earth for private gain
By theft and murder
They took the land
Mow everywhere the walls
Spring up at their command

They make the laws
To chain us well
The clergy dazzle us with heaven
Or they damn us into hell
We will not worship
The God they serve
The God of greed who feed the rich
While poor folk starve

We work we eat together
We need no swords
We will not bow to the masters
Or pay rent to the lords
Still we are free
Though we are poor
You Diggers all stand up for glory
Stand up now

From the men of property
The orders came
They sent the hired men and troopers
To wipe out the Diggers` claim
Tear down their cottages
Destroy their corn
They were dispersed
But still the vision lingers on

You poor take courage
You rich take care
This earth was made a common treasury
For everyone to share
All things in common
All people one
We come in peace
