Lyrics

[Churchill] Never in the field of human conflict Was so much owned by so many to so few [Churchill] I was born in the new world order Between the cold war and the age of terror I was raised in a proper place Victorian mansion and its private lane I spoke Latin by the age of ten Mighty help when the problems came And all my friends were bored From the life that they’ve been told Trade my blazer for shades and leather Death or glory there’s no better A teenage rebel in all his might As adapted as a tree in a flower pot People thought I was out of my mind Saying boy you’re some of a kind Didn’t mean to hurt no feelings Live fast die young go no stopping It’s not about the questions or commentary made There’s no sense in our actions it was a game that we played We were seeking recognition from a world gone adrift But how do you fight your parents when they’re hippies from ‘68 This is a sacrificed generation in which Maverick and the tribesman were born They didn’t start a revolution they were the kids of desert storm I am the reflection of a golden upper class But born in a world gone barren I’m the working class antichrist I’m down in the streets singing Power to the people While down in wall street My tribe is selling all the troubles This is a sacrificed generation in which Maverick and the tribesman were born They didn’t start a revolution they were the kids of desert storm So listen to my story because it could very well be yours And if you were born in money then well, you know how it goes You’re down with your friends, expensive clothes and cars Picking up top models on the boulevard Soon enough you know enough and you try to make it work But turn around and see the weight of the world [Churchill] This is not the end It is not even the beginning of the end But it is perhaps the end of the beginning [Churchill]
