[Refrão]
Bb Ab Eb Bb Ab
We were born, born in the fifties
Eb Db Ab
Born, born in the fifties
Eb Bb Ab
Born, born in the fifties
Eb Db Ab
Born, born in the fifties

[Verse 1]
Eb Ab
My mother cried
Bb Ab
When president Kennedy died
Eb Ab
She said it was the communists
Bb Ab
But I knew better

[Verse 2]
Eb Ab
Would they drop the bomb on us
Bb Ab
While we made love on the beach?
Eb Ab
We were the class they couldn't teach
Bb
'Cause we knew better

[Chorus]
[Verse 3]
Eb Ab
They screamed
Bb Ab
When the Beatles sang
Eb Ab
And they laughed when the King fell down the stairs
Bb
Oh they should've known better

[Verse 4]
Eb Ab
Oh we hated our Aunts
Bb Ab
Then we messed in our pants
Eb Ab
Then we lost our faith and prayed to the TV
Bb
Oh we should've known better

[Chorus]
[Outro]
Ebm7 Ab
We freeze like statues on the pages of history
Ebm7 Ebm7 Ab
Living was never like this when we took all those G.C.E.'s
Ebm7 F#7 F#m
Oh, you opened the door for us and then you turned to dust
Bb
You don't understand us, so don't reprimand us
Bb
We're taking the future, we don't need no teacher

[Chorus 2x]
