We're Not Going Back
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.
Do you remember the good old days?
An empty stomach and a tear-stained face
Do you remember how it used to be?
The walking dead in the factory
I won't talk because
It's not as it was
You don't want the sack
Then don't doff your cap
(We are not going back) don't back pedal down a broken track
(We are not going back) I'm alright Jack is an easy trap
(We are not going back) no more need for wearing all black
(We are not going back) I'm alright Jack is an easy trap
Do you remember the dail pain
Of walking arouhnd with a ball and chain?
Do you recall when it was hard buyt fair?
You got your share on a line of a prayer
Please put in my box
Some money for socks
Don't turn back the clocks
It's not as it was
(We are not going back) don't back pedal down a broken track
(We are not going back) I'm alright Jack is an easy trap
(We are not going back) no more need for wearing all black
(We are not going back) I'm alright Jack is an easy trap
