Lyrics

SIXTIES CHILD

Ver1.
I can remember when the times were wild
Responsibility was not my style
That's not surprising, I was born a sixties child

Ver2.
We lived for Zimmerman his words and rhyme
And everybody had a groovy time
Thought I was lucky to be born a sixties child

Link
We thought that we were really gonna change the world
Wearing flowers in our hair
We marched along the streets our flags unfurled
And meanwhile the Beatles and the Stones hit the USA
The king of rock and roll looked the other way
'Cos nobody was thinking of yesterday

Chorus
Everybody was turnin' on, tunin' in and droppin' out
Man what's it all about
Getting' high on Lucy in the Sky was the sixties child

Ver4.
We watched Apollo reaching for the sky
Cried for Kennedy the day he died
Nobody told him he was born a sixties child

Ver5.
When there was Vietnam we all asked why
So many friends and brothers had to die
Times sure were changing for the carefree sixties child

Link
We didn't wanna have a part in any Asian war
There were protests in the street
We didn't even know what we were out there for
And meanwhile the Rockers and the Mods fought along the sand
The old man on the beach couldn't understand
Why the younger generation were outta hand

Chorus
Cos everybody was turnin' on, tunin' in and droppin' out
Man what's it all about
Gettin' high on Lucy in the Sky was a sixties child

Ver6.
Now it's all over I can laugh or cry
When I think of yesterday the times gone by
Thought I was lucky to be born a sixties child

Was I so lucky to be born a sixties child.
