[Verse 1]
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
[Pre-Chorus 1]
I won't talk because
It's not as it was
You don't want the sack
Then don't doff your cap
[Chorus]
(We are not going back) don't backpedal down a broken track
(We are not going back) I'm alright, Jack, it's an easy trap
(We are not going back) no more need for wearing all-black
(We are not going back) I'm alright, Jack, it's an easy trap
[Verse 2]
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
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Please put in my box
Some money for socks
Don't turn back the clocks
It's not as it was
[Chorus]
