Born in the Fifties by The Police

A little tizzy I whipped up for history
Germy Rules!

We were born, born in the fifties
Born, born in the fifties
Born, born in the fifties
Born, born in the fifties

My mother cried
When president Kennedy died
She said it was the communists
But I knew more

Would they drop the bomb on us
While we made love on the beach
We were the class they couldn't teach
'Cause we knew more

We were born, born in the fifties
Born, born in the fifties
Born, born in the fifties
Born, born in the fifties

They screamed
When the Beatles sang
And they laughed when the King fell down the stairs
Oh they should've known better
Oh we hated our Aunts
Then we messed in our pants
Then we lost our faith and prayed to the TV
Oh we should've known better
Lyrics:
We were born, born in the fifties
Born, born in the fifties
Born, born in the fifties
Born, born in the fifties

We freeze like statues on the pages of history
Living was never like this when we took all those G.C.E.'s
Oh, you opened the door for us
And then you turned to dust
You don't understand us
So don't reprimand us
We're taking the future
We don't need no teacher
Born, born in the fifties
Born, born in the fifties
Born, born in the fifties
Born, born in the fifties
Born, born in the fifties
Born, born in the fifties

great song - videos not bad too

[thepinkzepp22]

I know the video is pretty lame but I put it together as fast as I could for my history final, the born in the fifties vid is an old ford commercial.

[DenaliC2002]

My favorite Police song of all time!! Great video-very creative!

[1959raddad]

@thepinkzepp22 Good job!! Don't be so hard on yourself!!

[nazgulero]

@samuelesdrucciolo Thanks to Youtube, it doesn't matter anymore when we were born. We can all enjoy good music, regardless of the period !

[AthClaith]

! person doesn't like the fact he was born in the '50 ties, i would love to be born in that era!

[SixtyFourMan]

Nobody cried

When Lady Liberty died.

They said it was the terrorists,

But we knew better.

- Born in the 90s

[samuelesdrucciolo]

i prefered ti was born in 44-45 or 46 like many great rock artists....we could better enjoy the magic 65'-68' period....however this video is very good !! ;)

If you were born in the 50's and paid attention to music, you basically went from The Beatles to Iron Maiden. If that didn't rock your world, I don't know what would. Correction; "They hated our ass, cause we messed in our pants".

This was pretty cool . Made me proud to be a member of the '50s

[SarahAngelx]

People who were born in the 50s are LUCKY!!!!!!! I was born in the 90s. *sigh*

[JoTheShmo72]

@theirishinc Ah that makes sense.

I kept thinking it had to do with MLK but that didn't seem very relevant to me.
