Born in The 50s — текст песни (Sting and Police)

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
