We were born, born in the fifties Born, born in the fifties 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 couldnt teach cause we knew better We were born, born in the fifties Born, born in the fifties Born, born in the fifties Born, born in the fifties They screamed When the beatles sang And they laughed when the king fell down the stairs Oh they shouldve known better Oh we hated our aunts Then we messed in our pants Then we lost our faith and prayed to the tv Oh we shouldve known better We were born, born in the fifties Born, born in the fifties Born, born in the fifties Born, born in the fifties 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 dont understand us So dont reprimand us Were taking the future We dont need no teacher Born, born in the fifties Born, born in the fifties Born, born in the fifties Born, born in the fifties Born, born in the fifties Born, born in the fifties
