"The World Turned Upside Down" is an English Civil War era ballad. It was first published on a broadside in the middle of the 1640s as a protest against the policies of Parliament relating to the celebration of Christmas. Parliament believed the holiday should be a solemn occasion, and outlawed traditional English Christmas celebrations, which were seen as too closely associated with Catholicism. The Battle of Naseby (1645) mentioned in the last verse was a critical victory of the Parlimentarians and sealed the fate for the Royalists.
“顛倒世界”是英國内戰時期的民謠,用諷刺的語氣批評了國會對聖誕節的禁令。國會中以克倫威爾爲首的清教徒認爲英國傳統的聖誕節慶祝活動太接近天主教了而不夠新教。歌詞中最後一段提到的内斯比戰役是1645年國會派的決定性勝利,此後保王派敗局已定。
