Born In the `50s — текст песни (The Police)

We were 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

They screamed
When The Beatles sang
And they laughed when the king fell down the stars
O they should`ve known better

O we hated our aunt
Then we messed in our pants
Then we lost our faith and prayed to the TV
O we should`ve known better

We were born
Born in the fifties

We freeze like statues on the pages of history
Living was never like this when we took all those GCE`s
O 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

We were born
Born in the fifties
