Born In The 50's

We were 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
We were born
Born in the fifties
They screamed
When The Beatles sang
And they laughed when the king fell down the stars
O they should’ve known better
O we hated our aunt
Then we messed in our pants
Then we lost our faith and prayed to the TV
O we should’ve known better
We were born
Born in the fifties
We freeze like statues on the pages of history
Living was never like this when we took all those GCE’s
O 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
We were born
Born in the fifties
