Born In the '70s
Ed Harcourt

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)
