My mother cried
Bb Ab
When President Kennedy died,
Eb Ab
She said it was the Communists

But I knew better.

While we made love on the beach?

We were the class they couldn't teach
Bb
'Cause we knew better.

They screamed

When the Beatles sang,

And they laughed when the King fell down the stairs.
Bb
Oh they should've known better.

Then we lost our faith and prayed to the TV.

We freeze like statues on the pages of history,
Ebm7 Ab
Living was never like this when we took all those G.C.E.'s.

Oh, you opened the door for us
Gb7/4
And then you turned to dust.
Bb
You don't understand us
So don't reprimand us;
We're taking the future,
We don't need no teacher.
