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 couldn't teach
   'Cos 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 should've known better
   Oh we hated our aunt
   Then we messed in our pants
   Then we lost our faith and prayed to the TV
   Oh we should've 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 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
