We ain’t finished yet (Talking about my generation)

We ain’t finished yet (Talking about my generation)

We’re the teenage rebels of the fifties who survived

We were living through the swinging sixties as we pleased

We’re not finished yet if fact we’ve been revived

We’re still seeking for the change and to be believed

We said our farewells to beatniks and to duffle coats

We were the biker boys with our polished machines

Leather-studded jackets silk scarves around our throats

Rebelling against the suited figures setting out new scenes

The wild changed when the sixties melodies came along

Our voices now were louder and we demanded to be heard

The decade of the Beatles Kinks Rolling Stones and song

Riding on our Vespas and Lambrettas giving society the bird

We stood up to class distinction demanding our education

Marched against apartheid to tear down the colour bar

Stood against warmongers demanding an explanation

We had the better weapons our voices and a guitar

You can play your ICE and MAGA cards we ain’t deterred

Hippies Teds Mods and Rockers we’re still around

We’ve got the vision your fantasy future is blurred

Never gonna win we’re rising from the underground

We may be old and grey but we’re still the force

We’re not intimidated by the puppet’s threat

Our message is for peace and just to reinforce

It’s about my generation You ain’t seen nothin’ yet
