We we re bo rn,

Born in the fifties.

Born, born in the fif - t ies

Born, born in the fifties .

Born, born in the fif - ties.

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

'Cause we knew better.

Refrain

The y screamed

When the Be atles sang,

And they la ughed when the King fell down the stairs.

Oh they sh ould've known better.

Oh, we hated our aunts

Then we m essed in our pants,

Then we lost our faith and prayed to the TV.

Oh, we should've known better.

Refrain

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.

Finale :

Born, born in the fifties.

Born, born in the fif - t ies...
