Born In the Fifties
The Police
We were 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
They screamed when the Beatles sang
And they laughed when the "king" fell down the stars
They should´ve known better
Oh we hated our Aunt we
Then we messed in our pants
Then we lost our faith
And prayed to the TV
Oh we should´ve known better
We freeze like statues
On the pages of history
Living was never like this
When we took all those GCE´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 fifties
We were born, born in the
Fifties...
