We Won't Go Back

Freedom won, so hard to keep

Spring revolution, the river runs deep

Down from the pyramids to the red sea

Just a slave with a change of scenery

Oh no, we won't go back to the way it was, to the way it was

Oh no, you can never go back to the way it was

Smash them chains with a fist held high

People in the streets, they just wanna stay alive

Mean old king, don't you hear the people now?

Crying in the square, they just want you out

Oh no, we'll never go back to the way it was, to the way it was

Oh no, can't go back to the way it was

Oh no, we'll never go back to the way it was, to the way it was

Oh no, we won't go back to the way it was

Running loose in the bloodstained streets

No shirt on my back, no shoes on my feet

I don't know if my children are dead or alive

Tell me who's gonna care for the motherless child

Now you wanna know if I think it's worth it

Future of our land is so uncertain

House burnin' down, don't you feel that heat

Turning down a dead end street

Oh no, we won't go back to the way it was, to the way it was

Oh no, we'll never go back to the way it was

Oh no, we'll never go back to the way it was, to the way it was

Oh no, we can't go back

Oh no, we'll never go back to the way it was,

Oh no, we won't go back to the way it was

Oh no, we'll never go back to the way it was,

Oh no, we won't go back

To the way it was
