Born In '58 Lyrics - Bruce Dickinson

On and on 

Born in a mining town in 58 

When black and white T.V. was up to date and men were 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 sceptered Isle is nothing sacred, just the one square mile 

Justice and liberty, you can buy, but 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 T.V. was up to date and men were still around 

Who fought for freedom, stood their ground and died 

Justice and liberty, you can buy, but 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, but you don't get free 

In a world of steel and glass, we bury our past 

Justice and liberty, you can buy, but 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, it was all the same
