(Sting)
|
We were born
|
Born in the fifties
|
Born
|
Born in the fifties
|
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
|
|
We were born
|
Born in the fifties
|
Born
|
Born in the fifties
|
Born
|
Born in the fifties
|
Born
|
Born in the fifties
|
|
They screamed
|
When the Beatles sang
|
And they laughed when the King fell down the stars
|
Oh they should've known better
|
|
Oh we hated our Aunt
|
Then we messed in our pants
|
Then we lost our faith and prayed to the TV
|
Oh we should've known better
|
|
We were born
|
Born in the fifties
|
Born
|
Born in the fifties
|
Born
|
Born in the fifties
|
Born
|
Born in the fifties
|
|
We freeze like statues on the pages of history
|
Living was never like this when we took all those G.C.E.'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
|
|
