We were born Born in the fifties Born, born in the fifties
My mother cried When president Kennedy died She said it was the communists But I knew better
Would they drop the bomb on us While we made love on the beach We were the class they couldn´t teach ´Cos we knew better
They screamed when the Beatles sang And they laughed when the "king" fell down the stars They should´ve known better
Oh we hated our Aunt we Then we messed in our pants Then we lost our faith And prayed to the TV Oh we should´ve known better
We freeze like statues On the pages of history Living was never like this When we took all those GCE´s Oh you opened the door for us And then you turned to dust You don´t understand us So don´t reprimand us We´re taking the future We don´t need no teacher
Born, born in the fifties We were born, born in the Fifties...
