Going Backwards Lyrics

[Verse 1: Dave Gahan]
We are not there yet
We have not evolved
We have no respect
We have lost control

[Refrain: Dave Gahan]
We're going backwards
Ignoring the realities
Going backwards
Are you counting all the casualties?

[Verse 2: Dave Gahan]
We are not there yet
Where we need to be
We are still in debt
To our insanities

[Refrain: Dave Gahan]
We're going backwards
Turning back our history
Going backwards
Piling on the misery

[Chorus 1: Dave Gahan & Martin L. Gore]
We can track it all with satellites
See it all in plain sight
Watch men die in real time
But we have nothing inside
We feel nothing inside

[Verse 3: Dave Gahan]
We are not there yet
We have lost our soul
The course has been set
We're digging our own hole

[Refrain: Dave Gahan & Martin L. Gore]
We're going backwards
Armed with new technology
Going backwards
To a caveman mentality

[Chorus 2: Dave Gahan & Martin L. Gore]
We can emulate on consoles
Killings we can control
With senses that have been dulled
Because there's nothing inside
We feel nothing inside

[Outro: Dave Gahan & Martin L. Gore]
We feel nothing inside
(We feel nothing, nothing inside)
We feel nothing inside
(We feel nothing, nothing inside)
We feel nothing inside
(We feel nothing, nothing inside)
We feel nothing inside
(We feel nothing, nothing inside)
We feel nothing inside
(We feel nothing, nothing inside)
Because there's nothing inside
Because there's nothing inside

If we want things to change, a revolution, we need to talk about it and about caring about what goes on in the world. It doesn’t seem the way things are in London. We seem to be going in another direction, and I think Martin felt like he needed...
