The Chartists
I am just a common man to the land I give my life
Working for my family keeping them from worry and strife
It’s hard to stand by morals when there’s nothing left to eat
No clothes on your back, no shoes on your feet

Bogey bogey one pound ten
All for the masters and none for the men
Bogey bogey one pound ten
All for the masters, none for the men

Times are hard for many a man with a family to rear
Conditions being as they are what life is this to bear
To see his wife and children go hungry day by day
Turns a man to violence for he sees no other way

Bogey bogey one pound ten
All for the masters and none for the men
Bogey bogey one pound ten
All for the masters, none for the men

The masters take away your rights, drop your wages without a care
Cut your working week by half, rise their prices and bring despair
What else can a poor man do when they will not hear his voice
Unite against their tyranny for it is our only choice

Bogey bogey one pound ten
All for the masters and none for the men
Bogey bogey one pound ten
All for the masters, none for the men
