Born In The ’70s – Ed Harcourt – letras

I was born the year punk brokeDays before the king was deadIt was the year of the snakeI was a red-faced childWho stumbled where he treadWas kept in orderly fileMy parents named me EdI tried my hardest to smileAnd like my daddy saidI’ve tried to be myselfSometimes daydreaming for hoursWishing for a dangerous lifeCut the leash some slackRun into the morning lightRace the trains by the trackUntil my mouth feels dryBut can you count on me?I might let you downIn a world that is so sensationalNo you can count on meI’m living for the nowUp against the older generation’s wallBorn in the 70’sAfter a length of timeYou’re this parodyJust like the record’s stuckAlways repeating the pastThat never liked you beforeYou had no reason to lastWe’re in a silent warA telepathic blastAnd like my daddy saidThese are exciting timesThe future grabs my throatAnd let’s me know it’s alrightIf I believe in loveThen I believe in hate tooI’ll taste the darker stuffTo find some lasting truthBut can you count on me?I might let you downIn a world that is so sensationalNo you can count on meI’m living for the nowUp against the older generation’s wallBorn in the 70’sBorn in the 70’s (we don’t really give a fuck about you)
