Don’t Go Back to the Way We Were

[Verse 1] Sit in my apartment on a Friday night Thinking of these COVID blues Wondrin’ if the world can ever come out right Can we take this chance to choose? [Hook] Don’t go back to the way we were Now’s our chance for a whole new start, folks Don’t go back to the way we were (yeah) [Verse 2] Been at home so long, we hardly drove our cars Gee, it's good to see the sky Even see the Milky Way and all those stars It’s enough to make you sigh [Hook] Don’t go back to the way we were Now’s our chance for a whole new start, folks Don’t go back to the way we were (yeah) {Verse 3] Open up the prisons, let the people out. Find a way to feed the poor. Medicare for all, it should be all about. Black lives matter, kill no more! [Hook] Don’t go back to the way we were Now’s our chance for a whole new start, folks Don’t go back to the way we were (yeah) [Bridge] Well, that virus came and really knocked us out Opened up our eyes Killed the poor, the weak, the old, a rout And brought our country too its knee-ee-ee-ee-ee-ee-ee-ee-ees Oh, come on! [Hook] Don’t go back to the way we were Now’s our chance for a whole new start, folks Don’t go back to the way Don’t go back to the way Don’t go back to the way Don’t go back to the way we were.
