Born in the '50s
We were bornBorn in the fiftiesBornBorn in the fiftiesBornBorn in the fiftiesBornBorn in the fifties
My mother criedWhen president Kennedy diedShe said it was the communistsBut I knew better
Would they drop the bomb on usWhile we made love on the beachWe were the class they couldn't teach'Cos we knew better
We were bornBorn in the fiftiesBornBorn in the fiftiesBornBorn in the fiftiesBornBorn in the fifties
They screamedWhen the Beatles sangAnd they laughed when the King fell down the starsOh they should've known better
Oh we hated our AuntThen we messed in our pantsThen we lost our faith and prayed to the TVOh we should've known better
We were bornBorn in the fiftiesBornBorn in the fiftiesBornBorn in the fiftiesBornBorn in the fifties
We freeze like statues on the pages of historyLiving was never like this when we took all those G.C.E.'sOh you opened the door for usAnd then you turned to dust
You don't understand usSo don't reprimand usWe're taking the futureWe don't need no teacher
