Born in '58

[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
