Bruce Dickinson - Born in '58 Lyrics

Born in a mining town in '58
When black and white TV was up to date
And men where 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 Septred Isle
Is nothing sacred just a one square mile

Justice and liberty
You can buy what 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 where still around
Who fought for freedom, stood their ground and died

Justice and liberty
You can buy what 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 what you don't get free
In a world of steel and glass
We bury our past

Justice and liberty
You can buy what 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
Honestly
