Can't Go Back

Are you running from the holiday That done you wrong, That done you dirty? You've got to cope somehow You've got to hope somehow Something in those fairytales You left behind so long ago Still lingers softly You're not alone in that But you can't go back No you can't go back No you can't go back No you can't go back No you can't go back Watching the world on a screen Friends and family In the land of the free Drifting out to sea Waste away on TV It's only fantasy There's so many things that I wanted to be Laugh until you can cry It's always worth a try Spin the world on a dime We're running out of time Living holy and high The killer's in the rye Jumping out of the window when the well runs dry New normal nothing Makes you want some thorazine The brave new world Came out suffering Harlequin holocene Bursting at the seams The American Dream can't go back to sleep You can't go back No you can't go back No you can't go back No you can't go back No you can't go back And you can't and you can't And you can't and you can't And you can't
