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

Chorus:

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

[Chorus.]

On and on. we slept till dawn
When we awoke, it was, all the same
