This Garden - The Levellers

Blood, sweat and tears

Really don’t matter

Just the things that you do

In this garden

Blood, sweat and tears

Really don’t matter

Just the things that you do

In this garden

I never thought, I’d see the day

When you became what you’ve become

It’s easy now just to look away

And leave your conscience on the run

Spend so much time not looking for an answer

But someone else’s to blame

As long as you don’t take the drop

To you it’s all the same

Blood, sweat and tears

Really don’t matter

Just the things that you do

In this garden

Blood, sweat and tears

Really don’t matter

Just the things that you do

In this garden

Sometimes, I like to get away

Chase a thought and fly

The people around here will never change

They’re too scared to look outside

Community spirit, neighborhood watch

Curtains twitching all the time

Got to have a look at what next door’s got

'Cos your credit’s on the line

Blood, sweat and tears

Really don’t matter

Just the things that you do

In this garden

Blood, sweat and tears

Really don’t matter

Just the things that you do

In this garden

Don’t waste your time with your visions of the future

And your party line

'Cos your eyes have blinded to the people in the gutter

Who are fighting to survive

When I was out, I saw a fox

He was fighting for his life

His eyes were wide but his mind was shut

To the red coat bugle cries

When he reached his home his path was blocked

By some sportsman’s clever guise

If this is as far as your culture’s got and I deny it

Blood, sweat and tears

Really don’t matter

Just the things that you do

In this garden

Blood, sweat and tears

Really don’t matter

Just the things that you do

In this garden

Blood, sweat and tears

Really don’t matter

Blood, sweat and tears

Really don’t matter

Really don’t matter

Really don’t matter
