[Intro]
On and on...
[Verse 1]
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 sceptered Isle
Is nothing sacred, just the one square mile?
[Chorus]
Justice and liberty
You can buy, but you don't get free
In a world of steel and glass
We bury our past
[Post Chorus]
On and on, we slept till dawn
When we awoke, we hardly spoke
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
Justice and liberty
You can buy, but you don't get free
In a world of steel and glass
We bury our past
[Post Chorus]
On and on, we slept till dawn
On and on and on
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
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
[Outro]
On and on, we slept till dawn
When we awoke, it was... all the same
