Lyrics
Back To Basics
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
When I was young I was blindfolded,
I only had one point of view:
"Be young, be safe, be stable,
Don't ever rock the boat".
I grew up, I ran the race,
It's not easy to compete,
The pillars of society.
It's hard to have too much respect.
(chorus)
Every day it's just a game,
I realise that I'm going nowhere.
It's empty, it's so bad,
It's empty, it's so bad.
It's back to basic living,
The simple ways are what I need.
If I had time I'd find the answer,
But I don't think I'll see the day.
(chorus)
And every time when it's all the same,
I realise that I'm going nowhere.
It's empty, it's so bad,
It's empty, it's so bad.
But I'm not running away,
No, I'm not running away.
I'm not running, running, running, running
I'm not running, running, running, running.
It's empty, it's so bad,
It's empty, it's so bad.
Back To Basics, Back To Basics,
Back To Basics, Back To Basics.
