I Want My Old Life Back

[Verse 1]
I want my old life back
Summer days lying on my back
Thinking of other things that rhyme with back
I want my old life back

[Verse 2]
I want my old house back
The one the crooks took when life collapsed
Nowhere left to hit the sack
I want my old life back

[Verse 3]
I want my old life back
Never did anything just for the crack
Never bothered with any of that
I want my old life back

[Verse 4]
Watching silent films of years gone by
Time dissolved and babies cried
Walking side by side through hills and brooks
Never gave life a second look
And now I'm under attack
And now I'm under attack
And now I'm under attack
I want my old life back

[Verse 5]
The world is back-to-front
Some with needs and some with want
Greedy guts ain't taking up the slack
I want my old life back
I want my old life back
