horrible histories - luddites lyrics
[ jim howick ]
we were weavers highly sk!lled
’til things were mechanized+ah
craft and artisanship k!lled!
a threat to all our lives+ah
[ matthew baynton ]
machines meant the workforce shrunk
you’d think you’d see us settle?!
when bosses said “let’s junk each punk and replace you…
with heavy metal!”
[ all, matthew baynton, jim howick ]
luddite, luddite, luddite, luddite, luddites!
the working man was sacrificed
luddite, luddite, luddite, luddite, luddites!
turned us into… anarchists+ah!
[ jim howick ]
industrial revolution, our old life overthrown+ah
so we came up with a solution…
a revolution of our own+ah!
[ matthew baynton ]
met in the hills and planned to smash
their weaving machines of gloom!
hear that sweet music as wе bash
a wop bop a doo ahh, a wop bang boom!!
[ all, jim howick, matthew baynton ]
luddite, luddite, luddite, luddite, luddites!
industrial weaving, it’s a stitch up+ah!
luddite, luddite, luddite, luddite, luddites!
break the dеvice and smash my switch up!
[ jim howick, matthew baynton]
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…
[ all, simon farnaby ]
started to riot!
it all went barmy..
[ instrumental ]
[ matthew baynton ]
laws were passed to shake our wills, sent soldiers armed with guns
and though we tried to break things still, we fought the law!
but the law won…
[ jim howick ]
trial and punishments were seen, it’s clear we’d lost the fight..
but thanks to us rage against the machine, now carries the
name…
llllllluuuditeeeeesss+ahhhh!!!
[ all, jim howick, matthew baynton ]
luddite, luddite, luddite, luddite, luddites!
this bands struggle carries on+ah!
luddite, luddite, luddite, luddite, luddites!
won’t stop ’til machines are all gone!
[ matthew baynton, laurence rickard ]
solo!!
o+on what, exactly?
