3. We come in peace they said To dig and sow [@CyberDoyle] We come to work the lands in common And to make the waste ground grow [local] This earth divided We will make whole So it will be A common treasury for all [YouTube]

4. The sin of property We do disdain [Not-for-Profit/Loss] No man has any right to buy and sell The earth for private gain By theft and murder They took the land Now everywhere the walls Spring up at their command [Murdoch]

5. They make the laws [Jeremy…] To chain us well The clergy dazzle us with heaven Or they damn us into hell We will not worship The God they serve The God of greed who feed the rich Whilst poor men starve

6. We work we eat together [The Lawyer 6pm] We need no swords We will not bow to the masters Or pay rent to the lords [Murdoch] We are free men Though we are poor [Start-ups…] You Diggers all stand up for glory Stand up now… [Sit still; only a song]

7. From the men of property [Parry, Shott] The orders came They sent the hired men and the troopers To wipe out the Diggers claim [YouView] Tear down their cottages Destroy their corn They were dispersed But still the vision lingers on [#1000flowers]

8. You poor take courage [Ben, Claire…] You rich take care [Claire Enders, lol..] This earth was made a common treasury For everyone to share All things in common All people one We come in peace The orders came to cut them down…
