Born in 58

(B. Dickinson/ J. Gers)

Born in a mining town in 58

When black and white TV was up to date

And men were still around

Who fought for freedom - stood their groung 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 TV was up to date

And men were still around

Who fought for freedom - stood their groung 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

On and on - we slept till dawn

When we awoke - it was... all the same
