Born In '58

On and on 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 glass 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 glass 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 glass We bury our past Justice and liberty You can buy, but you don't get free In a world of steel and glass We bury our past On and on, we slept till dawn When we awoke, it was... all the same
