You've been away for a long time
But nothing has changed since you've gone
The records decay, but the songs still sound the same
We remember the words and keep singing along

Remember the days when we walked everywhere?
No cars to our name, couldn't wait to get old
But now we reside in our daily nine to fives
Is this really what we waited for all along?

So go on and get away from your time clock
Stray away from your obligations
There's a way to stay young at heart
And get away, get back to the start
The start of it all

We missed a few birthdays and holidays
A phone call or two, it would have been nice
But we all got caught up and we lost the order of
Our priorities and who they once were

We lost our mindset to the tv set
We lost our personalities to prescriptions
We lost our hobbies to the overtime
We lost our love lives to addictions
We lost our sundays to the working week
We lost our friendships to the drugs
We lost our whole lives buying into shit
So we must get up and take it back, take it back
