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
