lyrics

I was born in black and white
As the 60s lost their swing
As Punk Rock came along
I was Kodacoloured in.
The Dansette Generation
The scourge of your small towns
Sprung from prefab cities
In brand new hand me downs

At school I broke no records, no
I guess it weren't for me
All the wrong circles played at
45 and 33
We were Betamax not Filofax
We grew up taking turns
My favourite teachers were
Joe Strummer and Jake Burns

Chorus:
We fell in and out of love
Like we fell in and out of bars
Got lifts out with mates
Lifts home in police cars
'No Gods, No Leaders'
We put faith in our guitars
We were young when we were young

Thatcher's Britain taught me that
That I never would belong
Striking Miners showed me
Which side I was on
They could kick it in your head
But not into your soul
They had law and order, yeah
But we had Rock'n'Roll

Chorus

I'm older and wiser now
But my youth has gone
I still know my Left from Right
Yeah, and my right from wrong
You have to cling to something
Or they'll break you, don't you see?
Something they can never tame
Cos that's what makes you free
