Born In the 50's (Remastered 2003)
We were born, born in the '50s
Born, born in the '50s
Born, born in the '50s
Born, born in the '50s
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
We were born, born in the '50s
Born, born in the '50s
Born, born in the '50s
Born, born in the '50s
They screamed when the Beatles sang
And we laughed when the king fell down the stairs
Oh, he should've known better
Oh, we hated our aunts, and we messed in our pants
And we lost our faith, and prayed to the TV
Oh, we should've known better
We were born, born in the '50s
Born, born in the '50s
Born, born in the '50s
Born, born in the '50s
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
Born, born in the '50s
Born, born in the '50s
Born, born in the '50s
Born, born in the '50s
Born, born in the '50s
Born, born in the '50s
Born, born in the '50s
Born, born in the '50s
Born, born in the '50s
Born, born in the '50s
Born, born in the '50s
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
We were born, born in the '50s
Born, born in the '50s
Born, born in the '50s
Born, born in the '50s
They screamed when the Beatles sang
And we laughed when the king fell down the stairs
Oh, he should've known better
Oh, we hated our aunts, and we messed in our pants
And we lost our faith, and prayed to the TV
Oh, we should've known better
We were born, born in the '50s
Born, born in the '50s
Born, born in the '50s
Born, born in the '50s
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
Born, born in the '50s
Born, born in the '50s
Born, born in the '50s
Born, born in the '50s
Born, born in the '50s
Born, born in the '50s
Born, born in the '50s
Born, born in the '50s
