Police - Born In The ’50s lyrics

We were born<br>Born in the fifties<br><br>My mother cried<br>When president kennedy died<br>She said it was the communists<br>But I knew better<br><br>Would they drop the bomb on us<br>While we made love on the beach<br>We were the class they couldn't teach<br>'cos we knew better<br><br>We were born<br>Born in the fifties<br><br>They screamed<br>When the beatles sang<br>And they laughed when the king fell down the stars<br>O they should've known better<br><br>O we hated our aunt<br>Then we messed in our pants<br>Then we lost our faith and prayed to the tv<br>O we should've known better<br><br>We were born<br>Born in the fifties<br><br>We freeze like statues on the pages of history<br>Living was never like this when we took all those gce's<br>O you opened the door for us<br>And then you turned to dust<br>You don't understand us<br>So don't reprimand us<br>We're taking the future<br>We don't need no teacher<br><br>We were born<br>Born in the fifties
