Lyrics
I Was Born In The Wrong Decade
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Little children go to school but they will disappear
They are taught to rule the word, dad thinks it's a good idea
A child is good and he can't see how easily he'll be cheated
Then he finds himself at the bottom living from 9 to 5
I was born in the wrong decade
It was 10 years ago there were guys like me
They called it New Wave but now it's history
People were just hanging around and in a enormous mess
Hope on day it will be the same as it was then
I was born in the wrong decade
