D# My mother cried G#
When A#President Kennedy died, G#
She D#said it was the Communists G#
But I knew A#better.

'Cause we knew A#better.

When the A#Beatles sang, G#
And they D#laughed when the King fell down the G#stairs.

Then we D#lost our faith and prayed to the G#TV.
Oh, we A#should've known better.
Chorus
Verse
D#m7 We freeze like statues on the pages of G#history,
D#m7 Living was never like this when we G#took all those G.C.E.'s.
D#m7Oh, you opened the door for us
F#7/4 And then you turned to dust.
You A#don't understand us
So don't reprimand us;
We're taking the future,
We don't need no teacher.
