The Levellers son una popular banda inglesa que toca folk rock o Indie rock influenciado por el punk y la música inglesa tradicional. Tienen origen en Brighton, Inglaterra, donde el gupo fue fundado en 1988. Hay varias historias acerca de cómo obtuvieron su nombre: de los Levellers, una facción democrática radical de Oliver Cromwells New Model Army, o como una referencia a "The Level", un área de Brighton alrededor de un triángulo verde en el centro de Brighton

Well Davey's out on two weeks bail and he's down the town to score When it all falls in and he's pinned by the chin And they'vve rusted every floor
It's a kick in the head and a prison bed And you tell me it's the law
Davey's down the old grey squat And he's lying with his lass When there's a brick through the pane ANd he's out on the lane With the bailiffs and the glass
It's a kick in the head and a prison bed And you tell me it's the law
The court comes up on Monday morning and Davey's in the dock He can't stop his tears when he gets two years And you can't turn back the clock
It's a kick in the head and a prison bed And you tell me it's the law
