Born in 58

Born in a mining town in '58 When black and white t.v. was up to date And men were still around Who fought for freedom - stood their ground and died That I could be alive And see the damage that we've managed since In this sceptred isle Is nothing sacred - just the one square mile? Justice and liberty You can buy - but you don't get free In a world of steel and gla*s We bury our past On and on - we slept till dawn When we awoke - we hardly spoke My grandfather taught me how to fight Old-fashioned stuff like wrong and right But all around, I see his morals Buried in a mess of money troubles Born in a mining town in '58 When black and white t.v. was up to date And men were still around Who fought for freedom - stood their ground and died Justice and liberty You can buy - but you don't get free In a world of steel and gla*s We bury our past On and on - we slept till dawn On and on and on Justice and liberty You can buy - but you don't get free In a world of steel and gla*s We bury our past Justice and liberty You can buy - but you don't get free In a world of steel and gla*s We bury our past On and on - we slept till dawn When we awoke - it was - all the same
