Wat Tyler was a leader of the peasants' revolt against taxes in the 14th Century.
In the 1980s, when there was a mass movement against the Poll Tax proposed by Margaret Thatcher, the singer Attila the Stockbroker wrote this song, where he imagines Tyler being happy to see another revolt against an unjust tax.
