Lyrics

We're going back, back to basics
We're going back, back to basics
We're going back, back to the neighborhood
We're going back
I was 17 when I left home
Went as far away as I could get
Headed southward to the sunshine
To meet people I hadn't met
I put my faith in situations
Anything to reject the past
Situations turned sour
False prophecy did not last
We're going back, back to basics
We're going back, back to basics
We're going back, back to reality
We're going back
Uh-oh, I found trouble
When the mirror started changing
I started reading, started believing
Silly magazines
Did me nothing, got me nowhere
Except confusion, such confusion
I'm going back to what meant something
When I was a little boy
When I was a little boy
We're going back, back to basics
We're going back, back to basics
We're going back, back to the neighborhood
We're going back
We're going back
We're going back
That's my story, if you didn't like it
I'm so sorry we'll have to agree to disagree
If you think I'm gonna be hurt by it
That's the difference between you, between you, you and me
We're going back, back to basics
We're going back, back to basics
We're going back, back to basics
We're going back
Back
We're going back
