Luddite - Horrible Histories
[Verse 1] We were weavers highly skilled To things were mechanised Craft and artisanship killed A threat to all our lives. [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] Luddite Luddite Luddite Luddite Luddites The working man was sacrificed Luddite Luddite Luddite Luddite Luddites Turned us in to anar-chists [Verse 3] Industrial reolution Our old life over thrown So we came up with a solution A revolution of our own [Verse 4] Met in the hills and planned to smash Their weaving machines of gloom Hear that sweet music as we bash A wop bam a loom ahh A wop bam boom [Chorus] Luddite Luddite Luddite Luddite Luddites Industrial weaving it's a stitch up Luddite Luddite Luddite Luddite Luddites Break the device and smash my swtich up [Verse 5] 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 [Verse 6] So we formed the new luddite army Started to riot It all went barmy [Verse 7] 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 [Verse 8] Trial and punisments were seen It's clear we lost the fight But thanks to our rage against the machine Now carries the name Ludd-ite [Chorus] Luddite Luddite Luddite Luddite Luddites This band struggles carries on Luddite Luddite Luddite Luddite Luddites Wont rest to machines are all gone [Outro] Solo On what exactly?
