Horrible Histories - Luddite lyrics

rate me

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

Luddite Luddite Luddite Luddite Luddites

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?
