Battle Of The Beanfield Lyrics - Levellers

I thought I heard someone calling me 

I've seen the pictures on TV 

And I made up my mind that I would go and see 

With my own eyes 

It didn't take too long to hitch a ride 

With a guy going south to start a new life 

Past the place where my friend died 

Two years ago 

Down the 303 at the end of the road 

Flashing lights - exclusion zones 

And it made me think it's not just the stones 

That they're guarding 

Hey, hey, can't you see 

There's nothing here that you can call free 

They're getting their kicks 

Laughing at you an me 

As the sun rose on the Beanfield 

They came like wolf on the fold 

And they didn't give a warning 

They took their bloody toll 

I see a pregnant woman 

Lying in blood of her own 

I see her children crying 

As the police tore apart her home 

And no they didn't need a reason 

It's what your votes condone 

It seems they were committing treason 

By trying to live on the road 

As the sun rose on the Beanfield 

They came like wolf on the fold 

And they didn't give a warning 

They took their bloody toll
