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 ! ! !
