[Intro] [Verse one] The years 1960-1975 A time we all felt alive We were young and rebellious While the world was precarious [Verse two] Protesting nukes and the Vietnam War Protesting until we couldn't protest anymore All we could ever want was love and peace And for the war, destruction and hate to cease [Instrumental] [Bridge] Steam engines left the rails The world was off the scales We enjoyed, drugs, Woodstock and rock To our folks, it was all a mighty shock [Chorus] What a time to be young We were loud and our hips swung No matter how it annoyed the generation before us We were young and happy to kick up a fuss [Instrumental] [Verse three] Berlin Wall, Kennedy's death and the moon landing It all happened when we were loving and partying Despite the troubles of the world, we made life a festival Laughing, living and loving as the world prepared to fall [Bridge] It all gave way to the seventies The 1960s became memories We still had fun despite the hardship and poverty Both decades in a way, we remember fondly [Chorus] What a time to be young We were loud and our hips swung We protested war and still had our fun We embraced peace and love under the sun [Outro]
