The Police - Born in the 50's lyrics

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 cla** they couldn't 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 we laughed when the king fell down the stairs Oh, they 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 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 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 Born Born in the fifties
