Artist: ed harcourt
Song: born in the '70s
I was born in 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 me? I might let you down
In a world that is so sensational
But you can count on me, I'm living for the now
Up against the older generation's wall
Born in the '70s
Born in the '70s
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
We're in a silent war
A telepathic blast
Like my daddy said
These are exciting times
The future grabs my throat
And lets 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
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 oder generation's wall
Born in the '70s
Born in the '70s
Born in the '70s
Born in the '70s
Born in the '70s
(No we don't really give a fuck about you)
Born in the '70s
(No we don't really give a fuck about you)
Born in the '70s, yeah
(No we don't really give a fuck about you)
Born in the '70s
(No we don't really give a fuck about you)
Born in the '70s
(No we don't really give a fuck about you)
Born in the'70s
(No we don't really give a fuck about you)
