Yesterdays Child

We're yesterday's children
We got smallpox scars on our arms
Watchin' black'n'white TV
Spend our sundays at the church
We're yesterday's children
Sneakin' out the back door
Got troubles at the high school
Friday nights on the dance floor...
Night turns into daytime
Days turn into night
Walk into the future backwards
Don't forget you are
A yesterday's child
We're yesterday's children
We got nuclear bomb scare
Still looking for the answers
It's so hard to understand
We're yesterday's children
Raised on rock'n'roll
Wear faded Levi's and to the blues
Dedicated heart and soul
Night turns into daytime
Days turn into nights
Walk into the future backwards
Don't forget you are
A yesterday's child
