# Lyrics:
I was born the year punk broke
Days before the king was dead
It was the year of the snake
I was a red-faced child
Who stumbled where he tread
Was kept in orderly file
My parents named me Ed
I tried my hardest to smile
And like my daddy said
I've tried to be myself
Sometimes daydreaming
for hours wishing
for a dangerous life
Cut the leash some slack
Run into the morning light
Race the trains by the track
Until my mouth feels dry
But can you count on me?
I might let you down in a
world that is so sensational
No, you can count on me
I'm living for the now
Up against the older
generation's wall
Born in the Seventies
Born in the Seventies
After a length of time
You're this parody
Just like the record's stuck
Always repeating the past
That never liked you before
You had no reason to last
Were in a silent war
A telepathic blast
And like my daddy said
These are exciting times
The future grabs my throat
And let's me know it's alright
If I believe in love, then
I believe in hate too
I'll taste the darker stuff
To find some lasting truth
But can you count on me?
I might let you down in a
world that is so sensational
No, you can count on me
I'm living for the now
Up against the older
generation's wall
Born in the Seventies
Born in the Seventies
Born in the Seventies
Born in the Seventies
Born in the Seventies
(We don't really give)
(a fuck about you)
Born in the Seventies
(We don't really give)
(a fuck about you)
Born in the Seventies
(No, we don't really give)
(a fuck about you)
Born in the Seventies
(No, we don't really give)
(a fuck about you)
Born in the Seventies
(No, we don't really give)
(a fuck about you)
Born in the Seventies
(No, we don't really give)
(a fuck about you)
