The Housemartins - Were Not Going Back Lyrics

We're Not Going Back

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 daily pain
Of walking around with a ball and chain?
Do you recall when it was hard but 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
