מילים לשיר Born In '58 – Bruce Cockburn

On.and on When black and white T.V. was up to date
Born in a mining town in `58
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 sceptred Isle Is nothing sacred, just the one square mile
You can buy, but you don't get free
Justice and liberty
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 But all around I see his morals
Old fashioned stuff like wrong and right
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
You can buy, but you don't get free
Who fought for freedom, stood their ground and died Justice and liberty
In a world of steel and glass
We bury our past On and on and on
On and on, we slept till dawn 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
We bury our past
In a world of steel and glass When we awoke, it was. all the sameOn and on, we slept till dawn.
