Couldn't find the album version of Battle of the Beanfield on YouTube, so here it is, taken from Levelling the Land. For more information as to what happened on 1st June 1985, go to Wikipedia: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_the_beanfield or Google Battle of the Beanfield. Also search on YouTube for news footage. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ I thought I heard something calling me I've seen the pictures on TV And I made up my mind that I'd 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, now can't you see There's nothing here that you can call free They're getting their kicks They're laughing at you and me As the sun rose on the beanfield They came like wolf on the fold And no, they didn't give a warning They took their bloody toll I seen a pregnant woman Lying in blood of her own I seen her children crying As the police tore apart their 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 And I say, Hey, hey, now can't you see There's nothing here that you can call free They're getting their kicks They're laughing at you and me Hey, hey, now can't you see There's nothing here that you can call free They're getting their kicks They're laughing at you and me Bastards Remember what you heard Hey, hey, now can't you see There's nothing here that you can call free They're getting their kicks They're laughing at you and me
