Born in a strange world , born in a fake dream
Flower power rules, people liked to scream
Religious beliefs came from the far east
Could it work within filthy western ruins ?
We're the kids, kids of the seventies
We are the future, we're already the past
We're the kids, kids of the seventies
Ready to take over, we're born to kick your ass
Who needs a Nixon ? Visit the watergate
Strikes over Europe, no more oil to trade
War is big business, brother against brother
Bombings over Hanoï, where's my black panther ?
Africa's starving, not even a fruit
Jimmy Jones laughing, want some orange juice ?
Dinosaur music, barking Kalashnikovs
Daily life was far... So far from glitter rock
We're the kids, kids of the seventies
We are the future, we're already the past
We're the kids, kids of the seventies
ready to take over , we're born to kick your ass
Seventy seven, then came to daylight
A new wave of sound, a new will to fight
A pistol, a clash, a goal to achieve
Gimme something wild, something to believe
We're the kids, kids of the seventies
We are the future, we're already the past
We're the kids, kids of the seventies
Ready to take over ... I hope we're built to last ! ! !
